@laneiger Hi Lori! I received my stamp 0 last summer as well, and am preparing my renewal submission. I am anticipating significant delays due to the virus. I’d be interested in your experience thus far, and expectations. Additionally, I’m curious about the tax implementations in US and Ireland. I have talked to other stamp 0 residents, and researched the topic, but have many varying answers. I am retired with all funds being from investments in the US. Happy to communicate outside of this forum if you are willing. Thanks! JC

Hey Joe, Considering how many times this is asked of me, i don't really consider it an inappropriate question. It's quite possible (IMO), that people who end up in Ireland on a stamp 0, have performed work and received payment for it. In fact I'd be surprised if that doesn't happen. I'm not sure how anybody with authority could find out whether or not that happened, and of course proving it in the case that you describe would be fairly difficult to do. stamp 0 is not intended for people who are going to be working, or seeking work, so I guess performing ...

Welcome John and Paige. I submitted only a full copy of my passport, and no request came for the actual passport. I received a letter yesterday from INIS confirming receipt of my packet. That said, Molly may share her experience with obtaining the actual stamp. For this I understand your passport will be required as this is where they will put the stamp. I intend to go to Limerick or Cork Garda Station should I be granted approval. Good luck!

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 ...

I received an approval letter today and requested to mail my passport to INIS by register post along with a consent form of not engaging in any business/employment/benefits etc. Probably they will put a stamp 0 visa on my passport instead of issuing a paper. stamp 0 visa is done now. My next concern is how to register GNIB within 90 days which is another issue. Seems impossible to book any appointment online.

... the USA. It goes on the market in May. I plan to work from Ireland with my current employer or find a new job, which shouldn't be a problem since I'm in the software industry and have EU citizenship. We are having a hard time understanding how the stamp 4 process works. Does my wife apply during our next visit in April, or can she apply from the USA? Is an application done with both INIS(EU1) and the Garda, or can we just start with the Garda? My employer is in the USA. Will INIS accept a US employer on the UE1 form? Must I be living full time in I ...

Thanks for replying Liam. The notice about the suspension is kind of hard to find. I’ll attach it here. As far as I can see, this affects ministers of religion, and volunteer workers. We used to be able to get a three year stamp. They did this suspension literally a week before we arrived. Really, I’m asking about the re-entry with a landing stamp for 90 days, just so we would be able to come back and get our affairs in order that we will leave behind, if we are not able to get long term residence.

Hi Brittney, The stamp is an ink stamp which goes in your passport. Another reader kindly shared a picture of theirs with us here : Welcome to the site 🙂 Liam

... a stamp 4 for my continued residency/permission to work. However, my current job in the US has suggested that it might be possible for me to continue working remotely for them for a little longer after I leave the states. It would not be long-term, but just for another month or so to wrap up my projects, and before I would be able to seek new employment in Ireland, which is my long-term plan. Would this be possible without an employment permit in Ireland (before I get my stamp 4, since I won't be able to get it immediately when I arrive in Ireland), for jus ...
