My husband ,who is Irish ,and I live in the US. I was wondering how to obtain an Irish passport without living in Ireland. Can I get an Irish passport even though I live in the US ? It sucks that if we had a kid they could have irish passport but I have to actually have residency to get mine. My husband and I travel for fun and work. It would be nice to stay in the EU without having to worry about visa's and other paper work if I want to travel with him. thanks everyone

I don't think it works quite like that. I believe you would have to give up your US Citizenship to do that.

First you would need to have a settlement visa for Ireland. Next you would have to meet the residency requirements. http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/Information_leaflet_No3 Lastly the US allows and accepts dual citizenship. http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1753.html http://www.uscitizenship.info/uscitizenship-dual-citizen.htm Donna

You must to be living in Ireland for several years first to do that and it has been mentioned before you will have to give up your US one in order to get the irish PP.

No. You have to live in Ireland. The law changed in 2005. You have to live in Ireland for 3 years.
