no, unfortunately there is no office in Ireland. Who would we contact in Order to prove that we could financially support ourselves? Liam, we are both US citizens.

Hello everyone, We are a family with kids currently living in the US and would love to make the move to Ireland. My husband works remotely and can live anywhere. I am wondering if it is even possible for us to move and if so, what visa or other requirements would we need? In Order to apply for a work permit it looks like you need to have a job with a company that is in Ireland, so that wouldn't work for us. I can't find any information about our particular situation. Thanks so much! Laura

... (in Ireland) to my Irish-national soon-to-be husband. I have never been in Ireland on more than a 90 day regular visa. I have never been, and won't be, granted any other type of visa. I'm looking for some clarification from the information I have found online and am hoping that someone who has personally gone through this process can help me out! It looks like an individual can be granted permission to remain in Ireland, but is not entitled to a right of residence. One must apply for permission to remain - makes sense. Under the "how do I apply section," ...

Bigjo You will have to move over first to meet the criteria, even for Credit Unions these days. Its not a problem I still have a UK account registered at my Daughters that handles some standing Order commitments there. Check what your bank (UK) charges for ATM withdrawals in € and work the best WAy of sorting that. My Halifax account WAs great when it charged £0.50 per transaction but it now charges a set fee + a % which makes it terrible for transfers. You will also have to sort out the pension payments once you have opened an Irish account.

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!

Yes, my entire family is American; however, my mother's side of the family came from Italy. Italy allows citizenship to be recognized through jure sanguinis "by blood" going back even a few generations. My great grandfather came to America from Italy in 1920 and since he WAs born after 1861 (when Italy became a unified country) he WAs able to pass on his citizenship. If my grandmother WAs born after he renounced his Italian citizenship by becoming naturalized, I would not be able to have Italian citizenship. It's been a long 3 year process getting all of t ...

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