    Hi,

    Ok, sent in my Irish passport application today but have a few questions about working in UK.

    1. Do I have to register under WRS? - I think not but am not sure.

    2. Can I work anywhere else in EU under Irish passport or just Ireland & UK?

    3. Do I need to get a letter from IND to prove to employers I am allowed to work or is Irish passport enough?

    4. Can I open bank account in UK with Irish passport?

    5. Can I get drivers license in UK with Irish passport?

    6. Can I start a company in UK with Irish passport?

    7. Can I use medical services (NHS) in UK under Irish passport?

    8. My wife & child will be applying for Family Permit - is this just a stamp in their passports or is it a letter or something else?

    9. Can we travel in/out of Uk on family permit or is it a one time entry?

    10. Can my wife and child use medical services (NHS) in UK under family permit or do we need private cover?


    As you can probably tell we're a bit nervous about moving to UK so any help would be greatly appreciated.


    best regards,

    micb

    Irish passport allows you to work in the UK and everything else you mentioned.No need to register or anything else.
    Concerning your family, they will need family permit ,which is for 6 months only.You would have to apply for a residence after that.

    Triple H, thanks for the reply it was most helpful.

    I'm still trying to get my head around all the rules so if I could ask one more question.

    How long after arriving in UK can/should my wife & child apply for residency?

    Can they do it straight away or should they wait until the famly permit runs out after six months?

    regards,

    micb
