How can I live in Ireland past the 90 day visa limit for americans? I want to live in Ireland for at least a year and since my job is 100% online I don't need to work for a company while I'm there. I can afford to pay for health insurance or whatever taxes that Ireland imposes, but I can't seem to find anything that would help me stay past 90 days. Anyone know of a way around this? Other - Ireland - 4 Answers Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions : 1 : You could begin the naturalization process, the EU countries allow you to hold dual citizenship without renouncing your US citizenship, however your income over there is subject to taxes over here if you still hold a US citizenship 2 : Look into work visas. You really want to try to do it legally rather than just overstay as they will figure it out when you have to pay taxes. You will also need to pay some taxes in the US even if you are living abroad. 3 : Do you have a parent (in some cases a grandparent - Italy or Ireland) who is a citizen of an EU member state? If you can acquire a passport through them then you can move anywhere you wish in the EU & settle where you wish As for the naturalisation process, you need to live legally in Ireland for 5 years or more before you can apply for citizenship by naturalisation. You should either contact the Irish Embassy in the country you're in now or the Irish Naturalisation & Immigration Service (INIS) for information on how to apply for a visa as a self-employed person Link to INIS http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/Irish%20Visa%20Information 4 : Apply to the Garda department of immigration and naturalization. You could also apply to your local Irish consulate. I wouldn't recommend staying on illegally, if you get caught (like when you leave) it will be marked on your passport as an expulsion. This could prevent you traveling to other countries in future (as there is no explanation as to why you've been expelled- some countries will assume the worst).
