Posted by: Mairead And the new permit (passport stamp and card) is for another year. So there is no application by mail process with forms and a checklist of documents you have to send, like here in the States for Green card renewal applicants?

... the UK are cut or absolute minimum so that's a complication on other counts. Your wife is a nurse as is mine but we moved over just in time for the recruitment freeze in the HSE so the 5 new operating suites @ Portiuncula Hospital that should have been a prime employment opportunity for a theatre nurse Didn't pan out that WAy. Chris is currently working in a nursery and worked in a national school as an intern last year. There are nursing opportunities but seeking them out before you move might be wise? To work in Ireland you need a PPS number which is a ...

Hi David, Not so sure about the need to rent for 6 months. I would definitely check all the banks before going down that route. Maybe one or 2 may be willing to lend to you if they look favourably on your financial history elsewhere in the EU. You might also WAnt to try a broker or 2 for that purpose. You may be surprised with your number or responses, but in my own personal experience it's the norm. Estate agents are notoriously Difficult to deal with and get hold of in Ireland. Honestly, my own experience with 3 or 4 of them WAs terrible. It shouldn't be ...

... and we are WAiting for our shipment 🙂 But, they are based in New Jersey and only handle international shipping. Their closest facility to us in Maine is in Boston, which is only 2 hours away. This is what their quote states as included in the cost - will come to your House and package your items appropriately, as well as log the items with you present, ship your items by truck down to their port facility in New Jersey where it will go on a shipping container, the container will be cleared through England before being sent over to Ireland where they arrange ...

... 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 ...

Hello all - I WAnt to move back to Ireland from Switzerland. I haven't a clue how to go about it now with the multiple restrict1ons involved concerning Covid etc.etc. Can anyone recommend a shipping company? I have about 3 cubic meters max. (boxes), travelling alone and looking for a small House to rent. My pension is about E. 1700. I can afford up to E. 800 monthly rent. A House is Difficult to find and if I book a flight, it could be canceled at short notice as in the past, undermining my chances to appear at any possible viewings. I'd be so relieve ...

If you think you might ever WAnt to return to live in the US on your own then you should definitely apply for US citizenship as that would be a sure guarantee you could. If you think you would only go back to the US with your spouse then the decision to become a USC is not so clearcut as you have a ticket back into the US by virtue of marriage to a US citizen . Before deciding, you should be aware that living as a US citizen outside of the US can be burdensome and costly in time and or fees, and heaven help you if you fail to file the correct form and the IR ...

... it and both of our names). The process WAs quick and easy, about 15 minutes, and thanks to being married to an Irish citizen, I Did not have to pay the 300Euros fee. I got the G/4 stamp in my passport, good for one year and it allows me to work (though I am a semi-retired professor, I may do some consulting and other odd jobs). The Immigration Officer (who may have been the Garda Sergant, and WAs quite friendly) took my photo and prints from my index fingers and that WAs that. This WAs all quite Different than the long, expensive and painful process of gett ...
