Donegal...*sigh*

I landed at that tiny airport airport when I went over in September. What beautiful country! A spectacular drive back to Londonderry! Sipped tea outdoors in Dunfenaghy where I saw my first 'tubular' sugar packets and watched some men putting on a tile roof.

ahhhhhhhhh......... :luv: I had a fun time in Buncrana Donegal when I was a mere lass....such a beautiful place.... :thumbs:

You guys are gonna make me cry! I miss it over there so much! :(

Awww. Sorry didn't mean to do that!

If you ever do go back, how does it work technically? I have checked into the spousal visa for me should Wes and I ever return to the North.

I know Ireland and the UK are part of the EU. Can Aidan move to the South without immigration paperwork? What about you?

I'm sure you DON'T need to worry about this....LOL. I was just wondering how it works.

From what we've read online, it's a pretty straightforward process. For Northern Ireland, you'd obtain the spousal visa. This allows you to work immediately, no waiting for employment authorization! Here and here is where we were looking when we were going to stay in NI.

The south (where we would be moving to should we go back) is a totally different story. We couldn't (as of last year) find any information pertaining to visas and immigration. It seems that if you're married to an Irish citizen (which Aidan is, even though he was born in the North), you're automatically allowed to work and live in Ireland without a specific visa or work permit. Oasis.gov is the best site we've found for information pertaining to moving to the Republic of Ireland.
