Heya eriecore. My name is Cliff and I'm from Kent, Ohio in the US. I've been working in London at the 56a info center and a vegan cafe called Pogo the past 6 months. It was at Pogo that I met Kieran from the Restarts/MDC who put me in touch with Josh who reccomended I post something here. Long story short, I am getting married and just found out that my visa is about to expire. If it does while im in England it will cause serious legal problems for my fiancee. So I am trying to get the hell out of London and to Dublin for a few days to get sorted. I'm planning to be there from the evening of 27th to the morning of the 30th of october. I know it's short notice but If anyone could put me up for a day or two of my stay I'd truly appreciate it. I can be reached at [email protected] and will be checking my email like crazy all day. Thanks again.

-I can fix your bike
-I can edit video
-I can cook

Josh/cliff- I would double check quick smart if what you are planning is sufficient to preserve your legit status re: your visa. The UK and RoI have their own 'common travel area' arrangement regarding immigration /visas and are not party to the EU 'schengen agreement' on border controls. I know no more than that but in the eyes of the UK authorities you may not technically have left the jurisdiction, consult someone who might know more, e.g. citizen's advice in the UK

I thought our common travel area had been gotten rid of recently, but I may be wrong...

All I know that when travelling from another EU country they do not check your documents i RoI airports but they check your documents if you arrive in a UK airport from EU countries.

Except when you're not an EU citizen.

Yes, you are wrong.... there has been some recent pragmatic changes in approach by ireland (such as a routine checking of passports on incoming frights from england), but in theory the CTA remains. There is no common visa system though, like in Schengen area Europe, so if you are not British or Irish you can still be refused into one country (or deported), even if you are fully cleared for the other country. its really just an agreement that relates to Irish and british citizens, and pre-dates the phenomena of global migration.

Very good point.

Anyone gonna offer this guy a scratcher?

I would, really... but only just last week i had someone who stayed with us, and in return edited some video for me, fixed my bike, drew a portrait of us for over the mantle piece, and cooked a smashing lentil stew.

What are the chances, eh!?

Dude should have offered gargle rather than bike repair and Gazzy would have kicked hansel out of his kennel.
