Greetings,
Here's the situation:
1. We are a large family currently living the USA - everybody is an US Citizen
2. My wife just got her Irish/EU passport last year, as most of her extended family lives in Ireland. She was brought to the US as a teen when her parents migrated.
3. I currently work for a large international IT company with a significant presence in Ireland and may have the opportunity to transfer to role based there.
4. However, I may want to work for another employer based in Ireland as new opportunities emerge in the next two years.
OK, now the questions:
1. Can I pursue employment in Ireland without a permit or sponsorship (in the event I pursed another employment opportunity) because my spouse has an Irish passport? Or does she need to have had established legal residency?
2. What would my wife need to do to establish residency, along with our children? Does she need employment, or will my employment be sufficient?
3. In general, what is the best way to establish residency considering the circumstances detailed above. Looking for a sequence of events to get established based on the rules and regulations buried within the INIS site.
Thanks in advance for any guidance!
