    My girlfriend is from Taiwan and its a long distance relationship. She has been to Ireland a few times and we also met up in the the USA for a few months last year. We plan on marrying in the future. I hope she can come and live here in the not too distant future but i'm worried about if she will be able to get into the country as the imigration laws seem fairly strict. Its ok for her to come on holidays but to come and live here i don't know if that would be allowed by the government. I'm just wondering would i have to marry her in Taiwan in order for her to the able to come here and live??? Has anyone had experiences of a similar situation? Any advice would be appreciated.

    Dont quote me on this, but i think she can come over as a visitor and get a 3month stamp, you could then marry her and she gets residency in ireland. It takes a few years to get a passport though, she could still work.

    She could try the student visa route - she can only work 20 hours a week though. Valid for 1(?) year, renewable. If it doesn't wrok out ..... :D

    Does she have an in demand skill? IT, engineer, nurse?

    There are different options http://www.oasis.gov.ie/employment/working_in_ireland/?CONTACTSID=c96ec17fa41e96dc5db7f37c19aa4087

    Basically it's like this:

    1. She can get a visitors visa (valid for a couple of months)
    2. She can get an Irish company to offer her employment (it only works if she's living outside Ireland (crazy I know) and the company needs someone with her skill)
    3. You can marry her in Taiwan and bring her back. (You need to prove that you have been dating long term - keep all emails/photos/evidence of your relationship - the government will request this proof before giving her a resident visa.

    If you need more detailed information PM me.

    getting a visa from GNIB whether as a student or otherwise has become more and mroe difficult and gnib really are not the nicest crowd to deal with.
    A friend married a girl from taiwan and as far as I know she still has to have a visa and get it renewed.
    There is some info on the oasis site such as
