I definitely agree with your last comment @dorzak With partial containers your goods are more likely to go missing or get damaged, and also they will get passed around quite a bit along the WAy. A FCL is more likely to make it in one piece. 2 hours to load/unload doesn't sound like much. Although if everything WAs boxed up, ready to go, and you had help, it might work. The 1/4 container wood crate sounds kinda pricey! @dxl we would welcome hearing your input if you find out any well recommended companies. Are there review sites that specialize in that so ...

Correction - County Clerks for California were on the List the UK didn't need authenticated.

... trying to get a kid into school for the first time age 4/5. There's a ridiculous WAiting List system that most schools have, whereby kids are registered at birth, and by the time they're school age, they may no longer even be living in the area. Try the links on this page for info If you click through to individual schools, you'll see some have pretty good parent survey info, as well as some school inspection reports. The data might be a little old in some cases, but it's still useful. Meeting people locally is a good WAy to get looped in. Or there may ...

Hello, I'm new to the group and glad I found it. I'm a retiree who WAnts to spend at least a year in Ireland. I hope to apply for a Stamp 0 in the fall. I WAs told not to apply until 2 months before I planned on going to Ireland. I WAs wondering whether there is a List of accountants in Ireland with their fees Listed that review financial information. Also, I've seen that the requirement for retirees is 50k. Can this be a combination of pension and Thrift Savings Plan (U.S. federal government equivalent to a 401k)?This is what I live off now and the TSP is ...

Hi Amy @skyxnight Sorry to hear of the situation you find yourself in. A stamp 0 probably isnt the route your partner WAnts to take. For one, it's temporary, and he cannot work. Have you reviewed all the evidence that is accepted for De Facto? There are a lot of things you can provide. Everything you can gather that's on this List is best Let us know how things turn out. I wish you both success Liam

Hi Folks!I just WAnted to write and thank you so much for all your information. We have been in Ireland for just over two months now, (March 2019) and we are on Stamp O, made so much easier by all the information here. First, the List of all the extra things needed, not Listed on the INIS website, WAs a godsend. We had background checks from a website, and we included a letter from our local chief of police. we included our marriage certificate and our birth and baptismal certificates. We hired an Irish accountant, referred to my by a friend, who looked at o ...

Those of you who have already made the move to Ireland, think back to just before you moved. What advice would you give your former self to make the process go more smoothly, to make your settling in Ireland more successful or quicker? Maybe just List the top three things you would say to your former self: Dear Former Me, to help you with this move, your Ireland-settled self says: 1. 2. 3. Máiréad & Steve, planning our move for this June...

Medical Cards are based on Income so to obtain one you basically need to be on low income. The normal form of Medical cover is via Health Insurance. That said there is no harm in applying. See:

Hi Liam, I am from N.Ireland (Irish/UK/US citizenship). I have been living in the US for 11 years. I am married to a US citizen and we have a 3 year old daughter (Irish/US). I will be running a company in Belfast and Dublin, we will probably live in N.Ireland close to the border. My US husband will probably work in Dublin. My daughter and I are already in NI. My husband is planning on joining us soon. Can he fly into Dublin, go to INIS or Grada station upon arrival and get a stamp 4 (or a stamp 1 since his professions is on the needed skills List), but most importantly can we use our NI address to apply for the Stamp in ROI? Thanks, Laura
