Long Distance "Something"

MarkY91

Hello all. I have a bit of an issue. Let me start with some background information on her and I.

I'm 26, Irish, no degree to be desired by other countries to work in, She is 26, Filipina has a Bachelors of Science in Mathematics and has experience working in treasury in companies like Toyota.

We met online 5 years ago and quickly got addicted to messaging, we fell in love and always wanted to meet up but never seen it being possible. We never got into a relationship but the feeling of love was always there, the feeling if heartbreak when we needed each other was always there.

She moved to Dubai earlier in the year to find better paying work there( she didn't get much interest and is now back in Philippines) but we met twice in Dubai as i was travelling to and from Asia. Our meet up was perfect, we felt like we knew each other all our lives even though we just met for the first time. Fast forward to now...i am currently in Asia again (I aim to see the world) and spent 3 days together in Philippines. This time was so intense regarding our love and heartbreak, we laughed so much and cried even more.

I know there is a stigma that filipinas are loads and gold diggers. But I know here just like I know my family and she is the kindest person I know, she is still a virgin and is so innocent. I have come across the gold digger filipinas upon my travels and she is the exact opposite.

I'm looking for advice on how she can work in Ireland. Even if her and I are never to Be, I would like her to have a better life as you can imagine how her salary is in Philippines. Obviously I can't work in Philippines as they only want western people with degrees. All googling leads me to believe is that Ireland is only interested in Filipina nurses. Is there any agency's she can contact?


By the way, I won't enter a relationship with her unless we can live in the same country, even if it is breaking her heart, I still can't do that.

I'm not a desperate man who can't get girls in Ireland, I've dates during these 5 years and often have interest from women here. But I love her. I compare everyone to her and nobody comes close so it's not a case of a desperate person like the many middle aged western men I've seen during travelling south east Asia.

Best chance is to look at the critical skills list on the dbei.gov.ie - those jobs get work permits more easily. For a general work permit a company has to prove that there is nobody in the EU who can do the job, critical skills are badly needed so there's less of a burden on the company.

If she has a critical skill then it's a case of finding an employer with a vacancy.

HMM so unless she has a critical skill, she has to prove that nobody in a whole continent can what she can do? Leaves me with no hope of it ever happening. Thanks for the reply though. I appreciate it.

up for anything

Maths degree? Listening to the radio yesterday the talk was off the terrible scarcity of maths teachers in this country and how desperate they are for permanent teachers. Try and find out if she can do some sort of HDip/Irish equivalency to get whatever qualification is desired here. It might help if you were actually bringing her here on some sort of financée visa as well. The two things might work.

They are not in a relationship. Are you suggesting they try to obtain a visa by way of deception?

From the INIS website - http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/De%20Facto%20Relationships

For immigration purposes a person may be considered the De Facto Partner, opposite or same sex, of another person if:

they have a mutual commitment to a shared life to the exclusion of all others akin to a marriage or civil partnership in practice though not in law
and
the relationship between them is genuine and continuing
and
they live together or do not live separately and apart on a permanent basis
and
they are not related by family

HDip/Irish equivalency..I'll ask her to research this.


We aren't in a relationship but very much love each other. I just can't do an LDR unless I know for certain it's going to become **** distance.

I am currently in Philippines backpacking and I can easily spot the gold diggers and whores. I just want to dress again that she isn't like that and I don't need to go through all of this to get a girlfriend, it is genuine love Which is why I'm enquiring on boards as my googling just make a me so confused and upset as it gives me little hope.
