Would you like to study and work in Ireland?

Protected by Copyscape Web Copyright Protection


Almost four years ago, after many years of study in Brazil, I realised that a good level of English or an international diploma would be essential to progress in my career.

I needed to live and experience life in a country where people speak English as their first language. I knew this would be important for a work environment.

In early 2006, I began to research all the options for studying and working in a foreign country.

In the end, my decision was easy...

Ireland!


WHY IRELAND?

I could have chosen a number of countries, like Australia, the USA, Canada or the UK.

But I soon realised...


Australia is too similar to Brazil. Our climate and even our seasons are the same.

I knew I might also feel isolated from the rest of the world.


The USA and Canada were attractive choices, but I knew I'd have to work and save for a LONG time before I could pack my bags.

Unfortunately, to obtain a work visa in these countries is also very complicated.

The UK requires that a visa is processed and approved before you leave your country.

I also heard that some people had wasted much of their time and money trying in vain to organise this visa, so my decision was made...

Ireland was the perfect choice!

I didn't need a visa prior to travelling, AND I could study and work legally without any problems.

The friendly nature of the Irish people also made it a great choice, not to mention the cultural, historical and natural attractions of the country!

I knew I could also travel around Europe for my holidays! So many different countries within a few hours!

All I needed to do now was find a course, some flight tickets and a place to stay...

and just a few more things...
