Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 March 2016
255. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Justice and Equality to set out the legal avenues whereby a citizen of the United States of America can legally reside here; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [5084/16]
View answerAll of the varied migration avenues available to non-EEA nationals are equally open to citizens of the United States. The details of the different categories of migration and the terms and conditions applicable can be found on the website of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) at http://www.inis.gov.ie. Two further elements that are relevant to US nationals are, firstly, that they do not need a visa to come to Ireland and, secondly, that the United States is one of a small number of countries with which Ireland has a working holiday agreement. Details of the working Holiday Agreement with the United States can be found on the website of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
