I'm starting this topic for people who WAnt to share information about their shipment of personal items. Whether it be to Ireland, or from Ireland to elsewhere in the world, I think all the information we can gather/share will be useful to others who are moving internationally. Share what you can on the following questions: 1. Where did you ship your items to/from? 2. Did you sent a Full container load, or partial (FCL vs LCL) 3. How long did it take for your things to arrive? (approximate number of days/weeks) 4. What condition did the shipment arrive in ...

We are moving from Montgomery, Alabama, to County Wexford this summer. I have three quotes, all for 40 ft container. Two are from Irish companies: 10,625 EUROS plus insurance and 10,596 EUROS (includes insurance). Both quotes include Full packing, port charges, customs clearance, and door to door service. I have one US-company quote: $10,255 (does not include port charge or insurance). Two other companies (one US, one Irish) I did not hear back from. (And if I have to beg you just to give me a quote, I'm just going to move on to someone else.) So basically the two Irish quotes are roughly the same and the US quote is roughly 2,000 EUROS less. But my gut instinct tells me I might be better off going with one of the two Irish companies, just based on my dealings so far. (And I feel like the US company might end up tacking on more charges before it's all said and done.) Also I feel like if there are any issues, they would most likely arise on the destination end, and maybe it would be better to have an Irish company handling the transaction.

Hello everyone! My name is Lily and I am new here. I WAs hoping maybe someone could give me some advice, answers or knowledge that could be helpful. If you would be kind enough to read through my back story, I will appreciate your patience. I am a South African citizen (grants me access to Ireland with no visa requirement for 90 days) married to a Dutch Citizen, we are both residing in South Africa at the moment. My husband has a very comfortable job at the moment, as he is positioned remotely, but the company he works for is South African, so he pays So ...

... don't even consider licensing status of others in house!) expect to pay Full coverage of 4,000 Euro a month for a lefthand drive --only Axa would give us coverage! Driver's license testing process $600+. Parking prices are very high in the cities, gas high everywhere. Car Issues: Automatics are much more expensive here and hard or impossible to find for many models. Most insurance companies WILL NOT cover lefthand drive cars (see Axa above)--BUT consider learning how to drive a manual with stick on the opposite side, a new car and new driving rules all at ...

... days). They know they need to leave when those 90 days are up, but WAnt to come back soon after. How long do they need to be out of Ireland before they can re-enter on a new 90-day stay? Can they just cross the border to Northern Ireland, or sail over to England for a few days and then come back? Looking forward to what we can find out...

Hi Susan, I am glad you are finding the site helpful so far, but sorry to hear of your dilemma with your son. As I'm sure you can appreciate, the citizenship process is a complicated thing, and in a situation like yours it obviously isn't very straightforward. I don't mean to pawn you off to another site or anything, but have you reviewed the official details at this link Also, have you tried contacting anyone in a position of authority in Ireland on this matter? Is your son (or does he plan to be) in Full time education? That might be one route worth exploring. Liam

I have posted here before, but infrequently and probably not in a while. I obtained my dual citizenship with Ireland in 2016. My wife, who is American and cannot get Irish Citizenship would also be affected by what ever will hit us. I am weighing costs. What does it cost to live in Dublin, or Cork, or out West near Sligo? I understand it would be a broad picture of what reality costs, but I have no idea. I would have to get a Full time job and rent a 1 bedroom apt. Living in the USA is becoming very expensive, healthcare, housing, insurance (killing me). We will not be eligible for USA retirement until 2023 (age 63) at the earliest. So we would live and work in Ireland. Where do I start? If we move it would be in summer of 2018 when our 1 and only goes to college, probably here in the USA. My options would be to move in with my 85 year old mother (lives in San Jose, USA), who I like and really enjoys my and my wife company, move to Ireland and start fresh or figure something out in between. I know I would have to get a rental, get proof of renting to get healthcare, get a job and then there is my wife. What does she need to do? Lost and without answers. I read on the internets etc, seems like I will have to be "boots on the ground" and do research from Ireland. And it seems until you get to Ireland, all is up in the air until you visit the local Garda and state your intentions, and have a house and a job etc. Catch 22? Anyway, I appreciate any input and experiential help. Bob Elliott
