... 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 ...

... 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!

Hi Liam and other nomads, Some notes and then some questions about UpackWeShip—would love to know if others think there is a better deal out there. We are looking to move back in April to Ireland from WAshington DC. And after looking at this site, are leaning towards UpackWeShip. We got on their website and then called them. Learned some interesting things. 1. They offer three sizes of shipment, pallet, U crate and container. Its all clear on the site, but what’s not clear is that you should pack up with your own materials (from WAlmart or onlin ...

So, I intend to ship my belongings via a FCL in advance of my home renovation being complete, in Order to avoid the timing nightmares and delays that I've read about on this forum. One of the options Schumacher presented WAs long-term storage thru their (un-named) partner in Ireland. The estimate contains a hefty line item for a 10-month alotment of storage fees. It is unclear whether they would store the entire container or unload into a storage unit. My guess is the latter, but I would seek clarification. On the other hand, I have found a self-storage ...

... he is a UK citisen, it 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 req ...

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.

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 ...
