So, You Want to Swap Khachapuri for Guinness? Working in Ireland as a Georgian
Ever fancied trading in the stunning Caucasus Mountains for the rolling green hills of Ireland? Well, hold your horses (or should we say, your Georgian steeds?), because while Ireland is a land of craic (fun) and friendly faces, there are a few hoops to jump through before you can be downing pints and perfecting your jig.

First Things First: The Visa Situation
Being Georgian, you're not part of the European Economic Area (EEA) gang, which means you'll likely need a work permit to waltz into a job. But fear not, comrade! There are two main types of work permits on offer:
- The General Employment Permit: This bad boy is your ticket to most jobs in the Emerald Isle, as long as the position isn't already filled by someone from the EEA (no taking all the good barkeep gigs!).
- The Intra-Company Transfer Permit: Fancy a swanky international transfer within your company? This permit might be your golden ticket.
But Wait, There's More!
QuickTip: Reading regularly builds stronger recall.
Once you've sorted the permit situation, you might also need a visa to physically enter Ireland. It all depends on your glorious Georgian citizenship. Check out the Irish Immigration Service website to see if you need to apply for a visa before jetting off.
Top Tip: Prove your skills and experience are the real deal. Having qualifications relevant to the job you're after will make your application much more shh-mazing (amazing).
Landing the Dream Job: Blarney or Bullsh*t?
Irish employers are a friendly bunch, but they're also looking for the best person for the job. So, brush up that CV, practice your interview skills (and maybe a bit of Irish slang!), and convince them you're the perfect potato-loving (or not-so-potato-loving) candidate.
How to Avoid the "Failte Fail" (Welcome Fail)
QuickTip: Repetition reinforces learning.
- Don't rock up with a suitcase full of khachapuri (as tempting as that may be) unless it's part of your interview strategy (highly unlikely).
- Learn some basic Irish greetings – "Dia dhuit" (pronounced dee-a gwee) for hello goes a long way.
- Be prepared for some (friendly) banter in the interview. The Irish love a good laugh!
Alright, Alright, You've Got This!
With a little planning and some elbow grease, that dream job in Ireland could be yours. So, get prepping your best accent (think Liam Neeson, not leprechaun), and get ready for an adventure!
