IM UNEMPLOYED, Visa advice needed.

[joebloggs]

ive just had a look at the irish passport/immigration website, i dont have but seems im entitled to have an irish passport if i wish but having just looked at their visa requirements they dont seem any easier than the british ones.
im not going to give up that easily.
as far as my employment is concerened,where do they expect me,an unemployed lorry driver to get a job at my age,but does that mean im not entitled to have a family life.
arent the sponsor,me,and my wife supposed to have to sign something to say i/we wont try to claim extra benefits for my wife?

if you can get an irish passport. it still might be possible for you to use that to apply for a family permit using EU immigratioin rules not British Immigration rules. but you would have to be excerising your treaty rights, and i'm not sure from what you said if you are, if you get a family permit its virtually a legal right for your wife to live with you, unlike UK immigration law

under UK immigration law, a right to family life, they would probably tell you there is nothing to stop you living in the phils or any other country..
