Hi Kevin, They need an accountant because their cash flow is not in Euro. I think my case is a bit different. I WAs working in Dublin 10 years ago and I have an Ulster bank account. I have the balance over Euro 100,000 cash, plus I provided the previous year taxable income from Canada government statement. Thus, I don't need an accountant to verify my income. I think INIS is eager to see any cash is immediately available, not future income. Based on the conversation with them, you have to indicate the expected arrival date and leaving date on the subm ...

I'm planning on bringing in alcoholic beverages within the duty-free allowance when I move to Ireland. I will, of course, declare it. My question is - even though, say, up to 4L of still wine is allowed duty-free, will they still demand that 23% VAT be paid on it? I'm planning on bringing it in via checked luggage (I'll post about that separately), carefully packed of course, and I'll have a List of items I'm bringing on my person.

... or immigration advice nor should it be solely relied upon for your own move, it's just a nice starting point for considerations to make if you are someone in a similar situation. About me: - I had a job lined up before moving to Dublin. My work permit WAs applied for and approved while I WAs in the US. It WAs sponsored by my new employer.- I live a minimalist lifestyle. I did not need contents relocation (someone shows up, packs your stuff, puts it in a shipping container, and delivers to you in Ireland). I WAs moving via checked/excess luggage and mailing ...

Kim South Africa is on the List of eligible countries for a license exchange. However I have never heard someone exchanging a truck category license. The good news though is that I can't find anywhere on the website that says it is excluded, so hopefully it should be fine. Here's the info you need Let us know how it turns out please. Liam

... Also, if you could share the accounting firm to verify your financials and who you utilized for health insurance, that would be helpful. The other matters seem pretty straightforward. I suppose I am interested in many things about your decision, but I don't WAnt to impose too much. I believe you have chosen Donegal, which is on my short List. Any particular reason for that choice? At any rate, I'd like to keep in touch. I'm sure you have much to share.

Hi Guys, I WAs wondering regarding the "Transfer of residence". If for example we have 2 cars to import, will it be a problem at customs, regarding the tax relief ? I mean one car is mine and one is my wife's do we submit 2x 1076 ? Furthermore if you have 2 x 1076 and we are 3 persons for the List of things do we have to make 3 Lists or just one big List with belongings. Another thing is regarding the evaluation of you personal belongings. I mean how do you do it, you can put a value on things thinking how much you would get if you sell them but that is di ...

Making the move next June. The plan WAs to move later this year, but we WAnt to travel Australia and New Zealand for 3 months early next year, so we postpone Ireland till June next year. Also, if would be nice to settle in during the summer months. Born and raise in Ca and Mexican food is on the top of the List. Tomatillo for salsa verde and cilantro are on my List to plant. Also, to make friends with a butcher that can cut tri tip. WAlked into a butcher and he had no clue what a tri tip cut WAs. I guess it's a west coast thing. Thing I will try and fit ...

Rikke, You definitely need to have a backup. It's common in Ireland for people to put their kids name down on a WAiting List from the day the child is born. With people moving around more these days, it's likely that the same kids names are on the WAit Lists of multiple schools. You might have seen this post on the subject before. I'd apply to a couple of public schools too. The WAit List thing is a bit of a fiasco in my opinion. I personally think that people should only apply in the year their kid will be attending, but because it doesn't work like that, y ...
