    MOD: Please move if in wrong forum -- (apologies in advance)

    Hy all,

    Just rearching this topic, Example:

    1. Irish Man / Women (Born / Citizen / Passport etc...)
    2. Foreign Man / Women (Foreign as in the countries that require a visa to enter Ireland) Can be found here

    If the foreign man / women comes to Ireland on tourist visa e.g. 3 months, marries a Irish man / women. Does this give legal rights for the foreigner to stay in the country & seek employment?

    Under the work permit section of oasis.gov.ie it states:

    "Work permit not necessary"
    "Person who has been given permission to stay in the country because you are the spouse of an Irish citizen or the parent of an Irish citizen."

    Would anyone know if this is the case.

    Thanks, Joe

    Yes, apparently it does; it does not give them automatic citizenship, but it gives them increased consideration.

    I would have thought that, as parties to a marriage now have to give notice, the registrar would refuse to permit someone here on a work permit to marry.

    Immigration is not part of the registrar's function.

    I suspect the operative phrase is "given permission" - there may be a sliding scale where the non-Irish spouse can't work immediately but may be allowed work at an accellerated pace compared to a non-spouse.
