US Citizen help
I need some help, advice, tips just everything basically.
My British girlfriend and I are planning on moving to Ireland, we are getting married here in the US then she is returning to the UK. Then at one point we want to go to Ireland.
What we want to know is: do I need any to apply for any visas BEFORE i go to Ireland. Does she need one?
Can we go to Ireland together or does she have to go there first and then I go over once she has found a place for us to stay?
Do I need to take anything with me when I go to Ireland?
Can I work when I arrive?
Is there any financial requirements?
What do I have to do once I am in Ireland?
What does my girlfriend need to do?

If you intend to enter the Republic of Ireland via the UK, either by land, sea or air, bear in mind that there are no immigration controls between the UK and Ireland so you will have difficulty in obtaining your Stamp 4 at the Irish border. Ideally therefore you should fly together directly from the US to Ireland.

Bear in mind all this hinges on the limited information you have provided. It wouldn't apply if your fiancée is a dual British/Irish citizen, through birth in Northern Ireland or by descent through an Irish parent for instance, nor would it apply if you were intending to move to Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, for which you would require a UK spouse visa.
All this information and more is available on the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service website. You should do your own research before going ahead with any of this.

Re: US Citizen help
Can she go to Ireland first and then I meet her there? Or is it absolutely recommended that we leave from the US together

You could separately fly to UK, take the train to France and then fly to Dublin.
But if it were me I would just take the Holyhead car ferry together and then seek out the immigration bureaucrats after arrival.
