    I have noticed an increasing number of Brazilians in Dublin in the last couple of years, a group of 8 of them now live in house on my road.

    So whats the attraction with Dublin?

    It could be that alright, but why Ireland?

    Would our English language schools be superior to ones in the US or Canada?

    You can get a visa and work. Very few countries offer that. My gf is Brazilian. They are gorgeous

    I wonder if a lot would have dual citizenship too? Then if you want to learn english Dublin is still probably cheaper than London?

    Probably much easier to get visas for. But Ireland does have a positive repuation for English instruction or so I've heard. Sure the boy King in Austria learned English in Bray.

    Easier to get a visa here.

    In regards to the schools themselves, no they do not have a good reputation, 13 have been closed down in the past few years for fraud.

    Not just in Dublin, plenty of them dotted around the country. Particularly in places with food processing plants from what I've seen.

    No idea how. I've known a few Spanish people who've come here for several months as adults to improve their English for business purposes, and they left no better off than when they arrived.

    Is it really that easy to get a visa here as opposed to other countries? And if so why?

    Many Brazilian folk hold (or have the ability to apply for) Portuguese passports, so they can travel freely in the EU sans visa.

    After that, if it's travelling to learn English, it's a straight shoot out between Ireland and the UK, with Ireland winning out as being a great bunch of lads (I'm assuming)?

    So would i be right in saying that potentially millions of Brazilians have the right to come to work and live in the EU, therfore having the same rights to do so as say a german or french person?

    It's because of the special deal between Brazil and Ireland that allows them to study and work at the same time. Other EU countries would just allow them to study without ability to work. It's not because our language schools are any better .

    Seems to be they need to have Portuguese grand parents at least. According to Wikipedia at least there doesn't seem to be special deal with Portugal as with some former Portuguese territories.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_nationality_law#Portuguese_by_origin

    Doesn't seem dissimilar to obtaining Irish citizenship
