@vgupta_dub_2017 Hello Vineet I don't like to quote fees, especially when there can be a range of variables in services needed. My experience with Alan Lawlor WAs that his fees were reasonable for the level of work needed. He WAs responsive, asked reasonable questions about retirement investment differences between IE and US, and worked well with my US investment manager (CFP). His financial presentation met the requirements for the Stamp 0 application, and my solicitor found everything in Order, compatible with overall application. At the end of the day ...

@kevin Thank you, Kevin. This is very helpful. I have been quiet for a few weeks because, following receipt of my Stamp 0 acceptance letter, I made a quick trip to Dublin to put things into Order. I have requested the PPSN and reached out to VHI for a quote. My understanding is that I need to have a residential address in place before VHI will proceed with a private health policy. (I now have a property under contract.) In my discussions with Medicare, I learned that I can keep Part A, release Part B, keep Part D (prescriptions) as long as I have either Part A or Part B, and release my supplemental plan. I had a discussion with a firm that provides health insurance plans for people who are truly multinational; the premiums run $4600+ per year. If we are only traveling to the US to visit, not to spend part of the year in US and part in IE, travelers insurance should provide basic coverage should there be a need. At least this is what I have been told. All the comments and suggestions on this discussion thread are very, very helpful. THANK YOU - everyone - for posting from your experience. Kind regards Pat

Hi, I WAnted to post an update on the recent application for stamp 0 for my mother. Mom is from a visa required country, which means she had to apply from outside Ireland. We got her financial documents verified by Quintas accountants (in cork) and paid 450 plus vat. The turnaround time from quintas WAs one week from when she sent in her statements and they were extremely prompt and informative in their replies to all of her email queries. They know what they are doing and we strongly recommend them. The application WAs received by INIS in Dublin on Octobe ...

... 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 ...

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.

... 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 ...

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 ...
