Planning to go Ireland

I have been planning to go to work in Ireland since I saw the article in ACCA magazine stated that Ireland is currently in shortage of Accountants. ACCA members who get qualified in the Ireland would automatically granted with a green card, which i would assume it would be easy for me to get a job and apply for work permit there. Therefore I've been really busy looking for information, tryingt to find out the possibility of me being to work there.

Info that I found:

  1. It only takes an hour to fly to Dublin Airport from Birmingham International Airport, could cost only £34.50 for one way flight ticket as in Dec.
  2. Malaysian can enter Ireland up to six months as visitor without having to have a visa.
  3. Employer or employee can apply for the work permit.
  4. The work permit fee covering from 6 months to 2 years is EURO 1000.
  5. For those employee who apply work permit should earn at least EURO 30,000 per annum. There are only certain occupations having the salary below EURO 30,000 are allow to apply for work permit.
  6. The work permit visa application only have 10 pages to fill unlike UK PSW visa, havign 40-50 pages.
  7. The position for work permit application has to undergone a market test for a month, testify there's no one could fill the position.
  8. The work permit application would take up to 2-3 months to process.
  9. Salary range from gradaute accountant is EURO 20,000 to 30,000.
That's what i've got so far.

The most shocking piece of info i found is the cost of the application fee. It means £1000 now, as currently UK sterling pound is relatively weak against EURO. Is nearly £1 to EURO 1. My god...!!! If include the deposit and rental for accomdation and migration cost i would need at least £2000 then only i can make this move.

6 weeks, since I set foot in this foreign land that I will call home. I have myself prep for a brand new start of my life when my husband and I decided to move away from home, knowing that we will be starting from fresh, like a graduate, with no network, we will be sending out hundreds and thousands of application to secure a job. However, I have never thought that it could be so demotivating. Everything back home was easy to me, started on my first job with Baker Tilly immediately on my return from UK without too much of suffer in writing up resume or cover letter, went to the interview and got the job offer almost on the spot. It was slightly different when I moved to Shell as I was being invited to apply the job by HR. The entire recruitment process took about a month, after submitting the application, waited for 3 days for the interview confirmation. There was a second interview, phone interview, about a week after the face-to-face interview was done. It took another week
