Your wife needs to apply for a work permit as she is a non eu citizen going to be on her own in UK. For her to be able to work in UK permit free is that you need to go with her and exercise your treaty rights (meaning YOU live and work in another EU country) and get your wife as spouse of EU citizen. But exercising treaty right condition is that YOU are exercising treaty rights if you left UK to comeback to Ireland without your wife and she is still in UK this means its bending treaty rules.aswadref wrote:hello,
i just got my Irish passport two weeks back,it means a lot to me now coz it enables my wife who is a non eu to work without a work permit,she is been trying hard to find a job in ireland but no sucess yet,so she was thinking to look for jobs in the UK my question is can she go and work in the uk,i would not be joining her now coz i am settled in my job now and wont resign till she is settled in her job in the uk.if she has to go to the uk is there a special visa she needs to have or there is something else she needs to do before she goes.i am really clueless in this matter and would be thankfull if i get some help.
Your wife is only allowed to work in the EU country where you are exercising treaty rights, so if she wants to work in the UK, you would have to move to the UK and exercise your treaty rights before she can take up employment, meaning you need to be self-employed, self-sufficient, a student or employed.so i basically get a ticket for two of us and go to uk without any visas for her,and she than has to apply for a permit and once she gets a permit she can do any jobs.if i plan to live with her in uk does she still need a permit to work.
