Personally I wouldn't recommend using a pet relocation service. I just used one because it seemed the airlines required it. I WAs charged $1,995 to move my dog from Dallas to Dublin via Frankfurt. Let me be very clear, aside from booking the flight, Pet Express did literally nothing for me. I got all of the paperwork from the vet, brought my dog for the physical and worming treatment. Drove roundtrip from Dallas to Austin to get paperwork certified by USDA, etc. In addition, I dropped my dog off at the airport and WAs on board his flight. Upon pick ...

... In my case my wife is a dual citizen she is irish/british. At the Airport we used her irish passport and my South Africa passport told the immigration officers we moving here and my passport WAs stamped with 90 days and on the stamp it said joining spouse. We read too much online delayed to register because we WAited for utility bills. I think the situation might be the same for you Carrie when we went to the immigration office to register. The first day we went there we asked if we had been given an appointment date then we said no. We were given an appoin ...

I'm pretty sure you must move to Ireland first, as banks require an Irish address in Order to set up an account.

Hi Liam, That's not terrible, especially since it looks like a one-time fee rather than a per item charge. I did some more research on the website and it looks like you have to Order in-store to have the items delivered, you can't just buy online. I WAs hoping to just buy online and have the items delivered to save a trip into a Dublin. But I guess a 2 hr drive to Dublin is no different than the 2 hr drive we currently have to make to our local IKEA in the US. Looking at a move in April so trying to get our ducks in a row.

Carol, thanks for posting that update. It is also important to ask the immigration officer at the port of entry for as long a visitor stamp as possible. Having time on your side to get everything in Order before you must register with GNIB will make life a whole lot less stressful. They should understand that it'll take a while to gather the paperwork needed, so discuss that with them if possible at the airport, before they stamp your passport.

... regular national/state school and will be learning Irish, are they required to learn any other languages? If so, are the choices limited? From my own experience growing up in the states, I wish that a second language WAs more prominent in the curriculum. Only Spanish and French were offered in the area I grew up in and it WAs only required for 2 years in high school. So I can really only Order food or ask for directions, haha!

Rikke, can your husband get citizenship through you? Or would he need to fulfill residency in Denmark in Order to do so?

I thought of another worry - well more just question. I have celiac so I am always on the lookout for good gluten-free/wheat-free products. I am slightly concerned I may not be able to find as many items as I am able to here in the States. Are gluten-free items mostly available at the larger grocers like Tesco, or are there other specialty stores that carry them? Typically the larger grocers increase the prices a lot, so I tend to Order my gluten-free items from Trader Joes or World Market. Just hoping to find some good alternatives or even local bakeries that specialize in gluten-free products.

... will take longer as Irish Immigration is swamped with UK citizens applying for their Irish citizenship. Since I am an Italian/American the process WAs a lot quicker as there are not many Italians coming to Ireland at the moment. You mentioned that you have been splitting your time between here and the US - I believe you will need to show that you have been in Oreland consistently before your application will be accepted. All in all, after we applied, Joe received his temp Stamp 4 3-4 weeks later - but we had every single document required and in the Order ...

I can definitely shed some light on the EU Treaty Rights application process. We finally recieved all of the documentation needed and sent it off today, so now we WAit. As soon as possible, print off the EU1 application from the INIS website. You really need to do this within the first 90 days of entering the country, just know it will be denied at first because you have not been in the country for 6 months. However, since the WAit time is anywhere between 14 weeks and 6 months, its possible the timing will align and you will be approved at first go. Once y ...
