Step 1: Move to a predominately Irish area of a major city. Step 2: Watch lots of movies that feature leprechauns. Step 3: Drink Guinness like it's water. Step 4: Throw out all clothing that isn't green. Step 5: Work on your Irish accent. The thicker, the better. Step 6: Move to Ireland.

The family connection most Irish Americans have is that they can still claim Irish citizenship through a parent or grandparent but there are still large numbers of Irish Americans who cannot move to Ireland based on a family connection & require a visa to do so. You don't need an Irish connection to move to Ireland but you will need a visa. If you can claim citizenship of another EU member state through a parent (in a very limited number of countries, a grandparent) that would be the easiest way into the Republic of Ireland. If you can't claim Irish citizenship or citizenship of another EU member state then you will need a visa & they can be difficult to obtain. In order to apply for a work visa you need to first have a job in Ireland but in the current economic climate it's difficult to find work in Ireland & Irish employers are obliged by an EU directive to consider first Irish citizens, followed citizens of other EU member states & as a last resort non-EU citizens. Unless you have an exceptional/rare skill that's in demand you will find it difficult to find work.

You're not Irish anyway, in the sense that your nationality is American. They're not Irish either, they merely have an Irish background. Over here there's a difference. The only way Americans can move to Ireland easily is if they can get Irish citizenship, and they have to be able to prove it. Alternatively, if they are sufficiently wealthy not to have to work to earn a living, they can live in Ireland. However, we have this wonderful thing called the EU, and citizens of members of any EU country and live and work in any other EU country. Do you have any parents or grandparents who were born in any EU country, and can you prove it? If you can, then you can apply for citizenship of that country, which will mean that you can live and work anywhere in the EU, including Ireland. I don't know if you will get EU citizenship, but no harm in trying. This is the theory, dear. In practice, things are currently very tough because of the difficult employment situation. Work on the EU citizenshipt thing first.

You're asking the wrong people - the Irish!

All EU citizens have the right to simply come and live here. Finding work will be the biggest challenge. There isn't a lot to be found at the moment. Map of EU showing Slovakia as an EU country http://europa.eu/abc/european_countries/eu_members/index_en.htm

Yeah if you are a citizen of Slovakia your perfectly entitled to live and work in Ireland. There is free movement to people from the European Union so your grand. Your more than welcome to move here. If your moving to Dublin you will find a few Slovakian Pubs, shops and the like if your interested. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dublin/Pifko-Bar/180402551137 http://dublin.ratemyarea.com/places/slovak-point-20073 There are a good few others.

Well as you are a Slovakian citizen you can live in any EU member states without a visa or anything which Includes Ireland. So in other words you could just fly to Ireland and start a life there straight away because you don't need a visa to live in Ireland.
