The first occurred in 2003 and the second occurred July of 2008. Both cases have been settled and there will be no legal/financial obligations (on the US side) that would stop me from traveling.
I have tried calling/emailing the Department of Employment on several occasions with no success thus far, is there anyone out there with experience that can help?
How will this affect my application for a work permit? Will I automatically be denied for having the misdemeanor charges?
Any advice/guidance would be greatly appreciated.
i dont remember the application forms actually asking for such info.still nah, i would be more concerned with other reasons to refuse you such as work ration, available jobs and proof that the employer has done everything they could but still could not get irish or eu national and that you are qualified etc (the usual requirements for permit)eleal wrote:Both offenses occurred in the U.S. My company already knows about these offenses and will in fact be mentioning it when they turn in my work permit application, so the issue will definitely be raised. Thoughts?
unless your job offer is from an irish government agency. otherwise, you will be ok. i know the government agency in ireland started to do that couple of years back. they ask in the job application if teh application him/herself ever had any conviction in the past or present.eleal wrote:I am a U.S. citizen and my company has established an office in Ireland.
