I’m looking to flee my country before it implodes. Many of my friends are fleeing too and they all have their own plans. For what it’s worth, I’m gay, and I really doubt the Nazis will leave us alone this time.

I vacationed in Ireland briefly with an ex a year or two ago, but caught covid and spent most of the time resting. I didn’t really learn anything about what life in Ireland is like. I’m reading that the people are social and friendly, the food isn’t great (though I’m an american and I mostly eat trash anyway) and public transit isnt really great in southern ireland but totally doable in northern ireland.

I’m trying to figure out if I can make this work. I’ll miss my sister and the nieces and nephews and a few friends. Material things I can always buy again someday. But it’s no longer safe here. My country is dying. I need to make plans and my friends offer might be the best chance I get. I just know nothing about ireland.

    I think US gets a 90 day travel visa for Ireland, so if you don’t have a job that gets you a visa by then, you’ll have to leave the country.

    Another option could be trying to enroll in school and get a student visa. If you have a bachelor’s, maybe a grad program.

    If you are trying to do jus sanguinis citizenship you should do the research to ensure you have everything you need to prove it and begin the process because it will probably take longer than 90 days as well.
