Anyone know how hard it is to get an EU work visa after age 24?

[HEyHEY]

Anyone?

1. Why would your age have anything to do with it?

Got a parent, grand-parent or great-grand-parent who came from there?

Cuz if so, you've got a much easier time of it.

[HEyHEY]

2. After 24 that visa you're talking about is out of your reach

[Maple]

3. Why?

I know a couple in their 30's who just got them.

[HEyHEY]

4. Not sure why

But when I went to the UK embassy the woman told me I only had until 24 to apply for the ancestrial work permit.

5. Call your

MP.

[HEyHEY]

6. oooo...he won't talk to me

Just kidding..yeah that sound like a good idea..thanks!

[Maple]

9. Well anything's possible

but I've never heard of an age limitation.

And I wouldn't take the word of one person at an embassy.

MPs can open doors, and get answers... and then at least you'd know for sure.

7. If you are an RN,

it's not a problem. The nursing shortage in Europe is as bad, if not worse, than the one in the U.S.

[HEyHEY]

8. I'm not an r anything...

dang...... do they need journalists, or communciations people...marketers...if worst comes to wors..gardeners?

[HuckleB]

10. Surely a talented gardener could find work anywhere.

Or you could start your own business. Heck, open your own multi-lingual journalism school.

[HEyHEY]

12. It'd have a hell of a nice walkway

that's for sure

[populistmom]

11. That actually solidified my desire to go to nursing school

In case I have to get out of Dodge down the road.

[HuckleB]

13. Good for you!

It ain't easy, as I'm sure you know, but I'm always happy at the end of the day. And it has opened so many doors over time. The variety of things you can do as a nurse is astounding. I went back to school to become a Pediatric NP, and followed that with a post-master's cert to become a Psychiatric Mental Health NP. What's most important, as I guess I already stated, is that I love my job. I hope you will, too.

14. Just remembered

Ireland supposedly has a special deal for writers.

You can live there tax free, and be a citizen.

Now I don't know if that applies to journalists, or if you have to have written a book...but you might want to look into it.

[HEyHEY]

16. wow

thanks!

[hussar]

15. IM me

can give you my sisters email, she is an immigration officer in the UK and maybe able to help, no promises though

[HEyHEY]

17. thanks

I may take you up on that at a later date. I won't be going anywhere for a while Which is my concer. I'm 24 rightnow for the next six months. I had planned to go before hand..but fate had other plans. But I'll remember the offer...thank-you

[Kellanved]

18. hard, but not impossible

Depends on the EU-member where you apply for one: unlike almost everything else a work-permit is only good for the EU-member which issued it. Americans and Japanese citizens enjoy relaxed rules in most EU-countries -I'm not sure if that applies to Canadians as well.
I'd say: if you have a job offer, then getting the permit to go with it shouldn't be a problem.
