I know it seems that i am young but please do not judge. It's just a question for someone. You see, my "someone" wants to move to Ireland but she wants to know how you can get a passport and live in Ireland. She'd like to know the requirements and costs for everything and she is not so sure which websites to check.She wants to fly there, but wants to live there but wants to know how a young person could get a passport, like ages 15 and 16. It would be amazing if someone could answer my confusing question without judging me and things. Thank You.

Any minor requires an adult caregiver to be involved in the Passport Process The Passport will set you back around 70 bucks or 100 bucks if you want it expedited. You can get the passport through the Post Office in your area. Once in Ireland the Government there should be contacted about any Citizenship issues.

Well having moved to the United States from Ireland myself I have been in a similar situation. First off, in order to fly under 18 on international flight you need parental consent and entered in as unaccompanied minors. As for getting the passport, I am not 100% on the process for a United States passport but I know that you can most likely apply for one at your local government building or something along those lines. You most likely need to have the forms and photos signed and witnessed by a notary of the public (that information will be in the forms). And finally book your tickets far in advance, as if you book them 6 months in advance they still range (depending on if they are round trip) $400 each way (so totaling at around 800-900 total for round trip tickets). If you book them to soon to the date when you will travel they will be any where from $1500-$2500. And don't forget the currency there is euro so exchange rates kill you when it comes to actually buying stuff when you get there (I think 1 euro=around $1.45). I just got back a few weeks ago and I plan to travel back on New years holidays, so I know my stuff. As for living there, you can try applying for a visa, but being under 18 this will be difficult unless it is a student visa that is valid from 1-2 years. Immigration there has tightened up a great deal lately and it is nearly as difficult to live over there as it is to live here in the US.

Yes, your question is confusing - is this your own child or a friend? What nationality is she? Costs & regulations for passports vary from country to country. As a 16 year old her parents would need to make the application for a passport. She's also unlikely to be issued an adult passport, a foreign child arriving on their own with no one to meet them will raise suspicions. There's also the point that if she's from outside the EU, she'll need a visa to live in the Republic of Ireland - if she's a child planning to come here on her own, there is no way she's going to get one. As a 16 year old she won't be able to work to support herself & she won't be able to claim benefits, if she is coming here on her own she's leaving herself vulnerable to exploitation & abuse.

There's a few things you are not telling us. Is your "someone" wanting to come and live here because you are here? Or are you planning to come with her as well, to be with her? Make it a long-time aspiration for when she is (or both of you are) 18. A minor aged 15 or 16 won't get a passport without parental permission, then there is the little issue of finding work to support herself. Far better if she comes trained to do something, as unskilled jobs are not very plentiful, as any student not finding holiday work this past summer will tell you. If she is a EU national, she can come here without a visa, but from other countries that is another necessity to acquire.
