    I didn't bother reading all your replies, just to answer one of your questions.
    I've met many Americans learning Irish here, some are excellent, one was completely fluent, I didn't realise he wasn't irish untill he spoke English.

    Good luck faking a Student Visa too (Yes, I R Student, *stamp stamp* off to work). You need proof of Irish-Valid Health Insurance, A Bank Statement proving you have over 3,000 euro, and for returning students a college letter stating you hold an attendance record above 85%. And a proof of address in Ireland. And every student Visa requires a proof of tuition and enrollment. Oh, and you need to pay 100 euro for your fancy immigrant card. And any time spent under a Student Visa does not accrue to eligibility for future citizenship.

    To be honest, the Work Visa sounds like the easy way to go.

    A student visa would be good if you want to just stay for a certain amount of time. You can also work part time but you do have to leave (in principal) when it finishes.
    However a huge amount of Asians are in Dublin claiming to be studying English, IT etc etc, Yet are working nearly full time and many have outstayed their student visa. The government seems in no huge rush to deport them.

    For a work permit you need a very specialised job and the job must be waiting here for you (you can t just come and find one). Thats tough to get when you are abroad. Unless you ve got the money or the skills I d say forget applying to Ireland!

    Well they won't come after you blade runner style but if you leave the country, then try to come back, when they swipe your passport they will know almost immediately just how out of date your passport is, and you'll be added to a watchlist until you visit a garda station for renewal. happened to me once. If you try and enter again without sorting it with the gardai your ass is outta there. Also, if you get in police trouble: one swipe will show your in violation of your visa, and you are gone.
