How do you become a legal resident of Ireland?
mr. drummin’ asked:
Hi, I am an American trying to find out how I would go about obtaining legal resident status in Ireland. From what I have heard you need to live in Ireland for 4 years as a “legal resident” before you can become a naturalized citizen, my ultimate goal. Does anybody out there know how one goes about becoming a “legal resident” before becoming naturalized?

When you go to Ireland, don’t you think Irish people will say “Americans come here and they steal our jobs”?
Ya, you stay there for straight 4 years and then you can apply for CZShip. Flying Soldier!

Legal resident just means being legally present. You will need to find a company to sponsor you & they will need to prove they cannot find an EU (& a couple of other European countries citizens) citizen with the necessary education & exerience to successfully fill the position. The you can work on your work permit & this makes you legally present. After 5 years you can apply to be naturalised. I do disagree with giving citizenship so easily to Americans however, it should be reciprocal to how they treat Irish citizens which is now where near as well. Answers_to_questions
