Hi there
I'm a South African looking to move to Ireland to live & work, with a South African passport we do not require a visa to enter & stay in Ireland for 3 months maximum, however as I require a longer term stay, how do I go about getting a temporary residence/ work permit? Can I move to Ireland & get a job within 3 months & apply for a longer stay visa? Please advise on the various options available, I don't have irish family/spouse

Hello Dine,
To be honest currently jobs are hard to find in Ireland. But after some time, It might take you a month or a year, you get one. Once you settle up here Ireland is a great country.
I dont know much about work permits but I think you must have 30000 euro per annum contract to apply for a work visa.
inis.gov.ie this is Ireland's official immigration website you probably find what you need to know there.
Regards,
Adeel
