If an American (or other non-EU citizen) stays in Ireland for the full 90 days...

    ...non-visa, and then returns home, how long is it until they can return to Ireland for another visit with a new 90 day limit (or indeed if any different limit applies once one has used up the 90 days once already)?

    If someone comes over to Ireland during a summer break and stays for three months, how long would it be until they could come back for any length of time? One calendar year? Does it roll over every new year's? Or is there some other system I'm unfamiliar with?

    There's an unofficial rule of thumb that they're supposed to be out of the Common Travel Area for 90 days before re-entering. Enforcement of this rule is ... patchy, especially for Americans.

    Only 90 days, that's pretty sweet even if it was being enforced, was expecting a full calendar year from the first date of arrival :D Cheers

    Backstory is basically that one of our friends from New York is staying here for three months and we're trying to persuade her to come back again and visit ASAP, but she thought if she stayed for three months she'd be banned automatically until next summer.

    Seriously?! How long ago was this and how long did they keep it up? :p
    I wonder what it'd be like for an American without (that I know of) Irish family connections to try and get a work permit to stay in Ireland for a bit... I'd imagine with the recession it's probably harder than it was before

    Practically impossible these days unless they have a specialised skill where there are work shortages. If they're young enough and a student there's a working holiday scheme, or they can enroll in a third level institution here and work 20 hours during term, 40 hours outside it. But an ordinary work permit, in most cases no.
