... in (Galway) WAs really similar to where I grew up in the US and I am madly in love with my fiancee so it seems like a win win to me. About us: I'm a 31 year old machinist (with a side of mechanical design and engineering) specializing i. The set up, programming and operation of computer controlled machining centers. Her: 35 year old mother of 3 and homemaker, with a drop dead gorgeous smile and the best sense of humor I've ever known. Also a dual UK and Irish citizen. The information I am hoping to finf is related to marriage and immigration. Specifi ...

Hi @niamhienic, welcome to the site! @ronnie29 might be able to answer your question on what documents are needed as he went through this process recently. It differs slightly from those applying through EU Treaty Rights. I will say the immigration website outlines the process as well. Regarding his PPS number. He will need to go to the local intreo office, or whichever office issues the PPS numbers in your Area, and make an appointment. Unfortunately, he cannot just get a PPS number for being your spouse (at least that is what we were told - it may be different for irish spouses vs eu spouses.) If he says he is intending on applying for a medical card, that will be sufficient, whether he does or not.

Yeah, but with houses in the Area I am looking at being around $300,000 and the tax percentages, and the program being for the next several years I could see using it after 2-3 years.

I'm Peter, and I have just been accepted as a MSc student at NUI, Galway! I'm very excited to complete my education and liver overseas for the first time! However, a bit of reality is setting in as I look into the realities and logistics of the move. By WAy of background, I'm a community college instructor and lab technician, in the specialized field of microscopy and biological imaging. I love what I do, but am a bit underemployed due to my lack of an advanced degree. It has been my plan for the last few years to put my house on the market, pay off my debt ...

Hey! Thank you so much! That WAs very useful. I didn't realize it before--but you're right. My GNIB card does state that I'm on a stamp one. (I never knew that.) And I'm happy to say we're proceeding with the marriage process. (and hopefully the Stamp 4 process after.) We've scheduled a marriage interview. So, after going through the process of scheduling an interview--I'd like to amend what I said in my first paragraph. I WAs under the impression that when you make a marriage appointment, you have to WAit 3 months for the appointment. But, I see now you ha ...

... 2 children, ages 4 and 8. We would love some guidance on how to find some strong family centered Areas within about a 30 to 45 min commute of his work (flexible on this for the right place), as he might be able to work from home some as well. If you have any advice as to where we should even start trying to figure out even where to look to move, that would be great! We just decided to consider this a couple days ago. We will ask his work of course too. But value any advice here as well. Also, how soon in advance must we be looking for schools? Is moving ...

You're referring to the 'help to buy' scheme, right @dorzak ? There are plenty of new housing developments around the country. There were popping up all over Cork city suburbs where I lived. And most would fall under the 400k cap. Try this view on myhome.ie Click on the map view button and then zoom in on an Area to see what's new. The map view is misleading at first until you zoom in, because it only shows hits in Dublin and Cork.

I live in the USA and have several firearms (legal here.) I know I need a certificate from the Garda to have them in Ireland. Does anyone know of a shipping firm that will transport firearms from the USA to Ireland and deal with the customs process? Does anyone know of a firearms dealer in Ireland (Limerick Area) that will accept and hold such firearms?

I have not been through the Chunnel but my understanding is border controls are done in Calais by UK border control. UK is not part of the Schengen Agreement, nor is Ireland. It is possible that they could maintain a common movement Area. The biggest question comes down to what the UK can negotiate and whether or not Brussels will sign off on them or try to punish the UK.

I'm going over to Ireland for the first time in December - I'm staying in Wicklow/Wexford Area. I'm sure there isn't anything I won't like and my next port of call would be to move there! I just need a guide on what and how really!! I work in London (could potentially ask if job available in Dublin office) if not I would need to get a new job, do you interview by Skype do you have to fly over etc...? - I'm an Executive assistant so my thought process is to try Dublin City Centre for that? I live in Essex - and own a flat (mortgaged) - what are people's thoughts on property - ideally I would like a house with some land and stables as I have horses and dogs (well I have 1 of each at the moment but when I move I plan to buy more!!) but to start with my horse could stay in Essex with my friend - I can take my dog, but do you rent first in Ireland and rent flat out at home (this does make me nervous though in case people wreck it!) - then buy once you are more settled in? (6 months I am thinking?) Any comments or tip or hints! And in particular any Areas that people think would be good and rural for me to check out but not too far from Dublin would be great! Thanks all! 🙂
