Visa for Wedding Photographer for one weekend?

Post by wzowee » Sun Jan 15, 2012 12:04 pm

Hi,

Can anyone point me in the direction of what visa(if any) I would require as a Wedding Photographer doing a wedding in Ireland for one weekend?

Is this just the standard business visa? I'm an australian citizen, currently residing in england.

cheers.

If it's for you, you don't need a visa as Australian citizens are not visa required in Ireland.

For the purpose of a visit, yes. For employment (including self-employment or freelance), permission is required.

OP, this query doesn't come up here too often. I suggest you contact the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation.

Yes permission is required and this ideally should be arranged prior to coming to Ireland. However, for the sake of carrying out some photography for a weekend, this is an extraordinary amount of hassle.

Come over for a "visit", as a wedding guest and do the job.

The non-EEA national should enter Ireland posing as a visitor and work without permission / entitlement?

Yes. One wedding, one weekend, I don't see too much harm in it. The exchequer is not going to gain any tax revenue as the amount of money earned is so low and this would be offset by the work required to process an application for permission in this context.

Interesting point but I'm afraid that doesn't make it legal.

I realise that. It's clear that it is not legal nor is it the correct way to go about it but in this context I don't think it's a big deal. However, that's just my opinion and on that, we'll have to agree to disagree.
