@kevin Thank you, Kevin. This is very helpful. I have been quiet for a few weeks because, following receipt of my Stamp 0 acceptance letter, I made a quick trip to Dublin to put things into Order. I have requested the PPSN and reached out to VHI for a quote. My understanding is that I need to have a residential address in place before VHI will proceed with a private health policy. (I now have a property under contract.) In my discussions with Medicare, I learned that I can keep Part A, release Part B, keep Part D (prescriptions) as long as I have either Part A or Part B, and release my supplemental plan. I had a discussion with a firm that provides health insurance plans for people who are truly multinational; the premiums run $4600+ per year. If we are only traveling to the US to visit, not to spend part of the year in US and part in IE, travelers insurance should provide basic coverage should there be a need. At least this is what I have been told. All the comments and suggestions on this discussion thread are very, very helpful. THANK YOU - everyone - for posting from your experience. Kind regards Pat

... City of Minneapolis Police Dept, State of MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) and the FBI. Requests for the FBI and MN BCA required submitting electronic fingerprinting. So, I submitted all three reports that indicated that I had no criminal history or outstanding WArrants, etc. with the Stamp 0 documents. For health declaration, I had my annual physical and asked my Dr. to write a letter indicating that I WAs healthy, had no underlying conditions and I had completed my Covid vaccinations. I bought health insurance before I moved to Ireland as ...

Nick - You have to be able to show you followed the timeline as outlined on the Dept of Agriculture website. Once that is in Order, anything additional doesn't really matter. Would the 2 extra pet visits consist of doing things that must be completed for the move?

Thanks for replying Liam. The notice about the suspension is kind of hard to find. I’ll attach it here. As far as I can see, this affects ministers of religion, and volunteer workers. We used to be able to get a three year stamp. They did this suspension literally a week before we arrived. Really, I’m asking about the re-entry with a landing stamp for 90 days, just so we would be able to come back and get our affairs in Order that we will leave behind, if we are not able to get long term residence.

George - I am going to assume you are Irish? If so, then once you attend in person at a GNIB office, your wife should have her approval soon after if everything is in Order. I suggest reading what others have described here (from Cfin, Mairead, Kate, Kelsey). It should add some clarity to the process.

Hi All, My husband who is a US citizen will be moving to Ireland in the next couple of months to live with me (irish citizen) . In Order for him to register, get a stamp 4 and GNIB card it says that we must have proof of place of residence. I'm wondering if my lease will be sufficient or is it necessary to have his name added to the lease before he even enters the country. Thank you in advance.

Hi, I WAnted to post an update on the recent application for stamp 0 for my mother. Mom is from a visa required country, which means she had to apply from outside Ireland. We got her financial documents verified by Quintas accountants (in cork) and paid 450 plus vat. The turnaround time from quintas WAs one week from when she sent in her statements and they were extremely prompt and informative in their replies to all of her email queries. They know what they are doing and we strongly recommend them. The application WAs received by INIS in Dublin on Octobe ...

... and your suggestion of Mairead and Steve's posts. I already feel so grateful for what I've been able to find on this site! My fiancé, Neil, lives in Dublin now but is from Dungarvan, and we've been wondering the same thing about whether it would be better to register outside of Dublin if we can.... if anyone else has any insight into this, I'd love to hear it! @deleteduser Amanda, I'm so glad to hear everything went well for you and you were able to move and get married! Your response WAs definitely helpful. It's great to know about the PPS number takin ...

... living in Dublin. We have been together for four years, visiting each other back and forth every few months. I think our longest stay together WAs about three months, when he lived with me in Chicago over a summer. We got engaged about a year ago, but our moving plans have been all over the place because of COVID-19. Now, I'm planning to move to Ireland, and we are ready to begin that process ASAP. We've done a lot of research over the past year, but it's so hard to figure things out for sure from the info online, and it would be so great to hear personal e ...
