Our experience in the end WAs a Total nightmare. To highlight the experiences we encountered: - Estimated arrival of 4-6 weeks. In reality, it took five months. - Charged a change of address fee of $500. Their paperwork listed Dublin UK (we corrected this when noticed as we were getting the quote - the quote! that early! - and they assured us it WAs a typo and they'd fix it), so we had to pay $500 to change to Dublin, Ireland. - X-ray charge once it arrived in Rotterdam. We had no idea Rotterdam WAs on the itinerary until we received that notification. - ...

I am a dual Irish/US citizen. I have lived/worked in the US for most of my career. I attempted to move to IRE right before the pandemic (so own property, vehicle, have Irish driver's license and PPS #), returned to US and got caught in pandemic lockdowns. Took job in US while stuck here, but now would like to finalize becoming full time resident in Ireland. However, I like my US employer and they are willing to continue employing me remotely from Ireland. How might that work? I understand there are treaties between the two countries to avoid double taxation and to pay social security benefits once eligible for it. Curious how the practicalities would work - ie: would my pay continue to go to my US bank account, be transferred to IRE bank account, then I would somehow report/pay taxes to IRE? Do I need to Set up as a "self-employed" business in IRE? Are there businesses in IRE that I would need to work for who act as a middleman for tax purposes? Thanks in advance for advice from anyone who have had experience with this situation.

@laneiger Thanks, Lori. I WAs just concerned with any possible delays (due to Covid and previous lockdowns/restrictions) in getting the initial Stamp 0 approval. Sounds like you're response time from the INIS WAs less than 90 days but that WAs in 2019, so not sure what the timing is now post-Covid??? I suspect that timelines and timing with Gov't processes may be an unknown for now. As a result, my initial thought WAs to apply this summer with an anticipated move to Ireland in late Oct. I'll be selling my house here in U.S., so that is going to take some t ...

Hello, I am Liz and I am interested in learning more about remote working in Ireland. I have a particular skill Set that allows me to consult and do Skilled contract work. Interestingly, the fields/roles that I work in are also referenced 4 times in the “skilled workers” list. Has anyone on the forum moved to Ireland under similar circumstances? Did you go through the skilled worker interview process or were you able to show gainful self employment? thank you in advance!

My Wife and I will be moving to Ireland from Denver. The bedroom furniture in question WAs built here in Colorado,where the Humidity is around 10-15%. Is this furniture with its many Drawers even worth bringing to The Humid climate of Ireland? Its a 17 year old bedroom Set and I know some swelling will occur I just don't know how bad it will be.It WAs about $6000 17 years ago and probably worth little to anyone else.We would give it away for free more than likely. Anyone out there regret bringing Furniture with them to Ireland,or should I still consider ...

I don't understand why not Set up more offices to handle registration in Dublin. So, I really don't know should I leave on 90th day after arrival.

Hello, Preparing for our moving to Ireland in February. Just Set up an Irish bank account, and they mentioned we need to start building credit history, and that getting a car loan right away WAsn't likely. More like we'd need to build credit for a year or so before a car loan or mortgage would be possible. Anyone else have experience with that? Is it true? I'm wondering if my US credit history does any good, or if a car dealer will be willing to help you out if you give a good size downpayment. Thanks. Kevin

Hello Everyone! I am new to the group and so happy to have found such a wonderful resource. I think there is so much power is sharing knowledge so I hope I can find some answers (or at very least) insight into my questions. Here is a little background: My husband and I have been WAnting to make the move to Ireland for many years now and have exhausted so many different options. We have 2 children and are currently in Canada. My husband and I both work from home and can basically live anywhere. We are thinking now a Stamp 0 may be the easiest WAy and allow ...

... site ( removed link ) This website WAlks you through everything you need to do, but basically your pet needs to be microchipped, receive a rabies vaccination post-microchipped and at least three months prior to arrival, needs a signed and certified EU health certificate no more than 10 days prior to arrival, and finally a tapeworm vaccination no more than five days prior to arrival. Upon arrival, you will meet with an official at a time previously Set up by the Dept. of Agriculture who will deem whether your papers meet compliance paperwork. Of course, ...

... 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 ...
