you can come to Ireland no problem, say you are coming to ireland on holiday and then just stay. But if you want to stay legally you need to get a work permit. Though it's harder and harder to get work permits nowadays.It can take up to 7 years to get a visa, my fiance is Brazilian and he's been here since september 2001 and is still awaiting citizenship. Due to backlog of applications - that's why it's taking so long.

Boa Sorte !! xx

Contact the Irish Embassy or Consulate in Brazil and see what you need to move to Ireland.

I did not appreciate the comment from Natty, especially as I did marry a Brasilian & we are very happy. We've been married now for 7 years (i'm in Scotland).

OK...so to answer your question...

I guess the best way is to try to get to study over here is to see what courses are advertised to international students. I know one of my wives friends from the Northeast got some sort of scholarship from the Brasilian government to carry out research over here.

If it is a case that you want to work over here then you would have to find an employer that would sponsor you & then you'd have to get in touch with the appropriate office to find out about a work visa.

You obviously speak English, and very well from what I can gather, so this is a big bonus as nowadays they are insisting on loads of stupid stuff here like citizenship tests to show your aptitude in English etc.

If you wanted to do things illegally then you could go to London. Only problem is, although it is easy to get lost there amongst people (it's a huge city) since you are there illegally you'll just get all the shitty jobs going like cleaning etc. I am sure you are a lot better than that & would want a better job.

Hope my answer has at least given you a few options. You don't have to marry someone to get here like Natty says. As things stand my wife would rather we were living back in SP where she comes from to be honest.

If you want to live in the UK: you need to have an NI (National Insurance) card, work permit (from the local council), UK address to open a bank account, a place to work i guess, these would be the most important documents, oh and do not forget your passport it is important too. But I do not know about Ireland.

You do not need a visa to come to Ireland, so you are in a fairly good position regards coming here. You can come as a student for pretty much as long as you want, but unless the course is 15 hours or more a week and for a full academic year, you will not be legally allowed to work. You would be allowed to work for 20 hours a week with a qualifying course.

In order to work without studying, you would need either a work permit or a green card. For a work permit you would need to be highly skilled and the employer would need to prove that they could not source an employee from inside the EU - this is VERY difficult. For a green card you would need an employer to offer a job for â‚¬60,000+ a year for at least 2 years, although there is a list of exempt employments where there is a serious shortage in Ireland (such as nurses) and for these the pay can be between â‚¬30,000 and â‚¬60,000.

Or you can get married, or if you have a lot of money you can get a self sufficiency stamp...

You are entitled to come to Ireland with no visa for up to 90 days - after this you can go to your local immigration officer and get a new stamp based on any of the above options. Just make sure you never become illegal and you will have few problems.

Regarding documents, you must be able to show that you are telling the truth at the airport. If you are visiting you should be able to show where you are staying and how you are supporting yourself during that time. Also bring private health insurance. As long as the guys at the airport believe you are not lying and that you are not going to be a burden to the State you will be fine.

All of this for Ireland only...
