I'm an American leaving SUNDAY to start wwoofing in Ireland and I am slightly freaking about getting past border control. When I called the consulate in New York, a representative though that wwoofing was illegal and that I would have trouble at the border. Yet, wwoof assures that the organization is completely recognized by the country and will not pose a problem with border officials.
Has anyone had problems just straight out saying that you're wwoofing from the get-go when dealing with entry into the country? I'm not sure if I should just say I am on holiday, provide addresses and mention wwoofing only if they start to ask a lot of information.
also I read something about needing a letter from the reference you are staying with in Ireland to get a 90 day tourist visa. Has anyone been requested to show this / can it be in e-mail form?
Thank you
