... required I drive them a few miles back and forth. Besides that, I had to get to and from various activities, get groceries, etc. I had been driving a long time (many years), and knew I WAs not a danger to anyone on the road. I believe the whole Point of having someone licensed in the car, is because of exactly that. Young drivers, who are learning their WAy, are not the safest (the stats are there to prove so). There WAs no practical WAy I could have a licensed driver with me at all times. I decided to chance it, and if I ever had the pleasure of being pul ...

I'd be biased, and tell you Cork (hometown) is the best spot to live. I'm sure you'd get many opinions on this though if you ask some locals. Honestly, there's so much outdoor activity no matter where you settle down. None of the cities are so big that it takes an age to get out to a remote spot for hiking, nature etc. And in Ireland, you're rarely far from a beach, river etc, to enjoy that aspect of life. There are plenty of websites to Point you in the right direction for hiking. One's your familiar with in the US have Irish recommendations too e.g. There's great little towns a few miles outside most big areas. For example, Middleton in Cork (Jameson's home 🙂 ) is a good little commuter town. Same up near Dublin. Lot's of smaller areas, that still have the small town feel, but are close enough to everything you need with regard to amenities. For local produce - many farmers sell their harvest right from their front door. Due to the lockdown, my mom got turned around by the Gardai the other day for trying to get to her favorite farm for some vegetables. 5km is the rule, and they were not letting her break it. Aside from that, and probably easier, there's plenty of weekly farmers markets. You won't have to go too far to find one. Here's some ideas Have you been to the English Market in Cork city? It's very well known outside of Cork too. Great place to get veg, fruit, meat, flowers, etc. Definitely worth visiting, even as a tourist.

@ullasteprua Hi Liz! I currently work remotely in Colorado and would hope to continue to do so in Ireland upon moving - date not at all in place yet but probably in a year if all goes well! Did you find any more resources that were helpful? I am very interested but not sure how I fit. I work as a desl desk manager which is primarily a focal Point in sales contracts and managing contracts for software companies, etc. I would think it is relevant anywhere but does that tie in with what you do? Would love to chat more! 🙂

... option right now for getting help re: Covid issues. It's pricey though! I've moved dogs with their help in the past, and by doing all the work myself. If you can still do it without their help (some airlines insist you use them), then it can be a fraction of the cost. Did Aer Lingus give you all the requirements? E.g crate size, when/where to show up etc? It has always been the case when I flew with dogs, that you can only book them on the flight, approx 2 weeks before departure. Unfortunately it adds a little stress to the situation, because you have to ...

... to choose from. I like this 'u crates' idea. Mostly because you pack it all in yourself, and everything in the crate is yours. My things were boxed up on pallets, and then thrown on a container with who knows what else. Does the insurance cover the full cost of replacement, i.e. the value you're claiming? There must be some limit there. Regarding timing, can they provide examples of that timeline? You may have read here or elsewhere of the multi-month WAit for personal belongings to show up. The goods could go through other EU ports first before arriv ...

... that I'm hoping you'll be able to help with. I'm a New Zealander and my wife (of one year) has dual Irish/UK citizenship. We're planning on relocating to Ireland in a few months to live and work. As I understand it, the process for me will look like this: Arrive in Ireland with my wife (eg. fly into Dublin) Tell the customs official at the border that I intend to stay as the spouse of an Irish citizen (which means I should get a 90 day visa) As soon as possible, head to a local garda along with my wife (ideally make an appointment in advance)v Bring ...

There is also Clements Worldwide Insurance that I hear is very reasonable. It's global, they have their headquarters in WAshington, DC, USA. It covers all over the world. There is also A UK Office , Lime Street, London. My husband and I intend to retire in Ireland in the never near future and dread having to take a theory Test, 12 expensive driving lessons and the road test, drive with a Novice sticker both front and back of car for a couple years . I guess we have to do what we have to do but don't much look forward to it at this Point. We are aware t ...

Tanya, I've searched for official info on this numerous times. I don't think it's public, any maybe there isn't even an official limit. From what I understand, each entry is judged case by case by the immigration person at the entry Point. They typically ask length of stay, purpose of visit, etc. If a passport shows numerous entries backed up against each other, maybe they will dig deeper into what a person is doing during their visits. This is one of those types of questions where I like to remind people that this site, and everything you read on here, is not an official/legal source. Just a forum where people help each other out with common questions 🙂 If you find anything, please let us know.

... I spoke with the registrar in Ireland and they assured me I just need a sworn affidavit signed by a solicitor confirming you are single and free to marry. So, that WAs easy enough. My biggest concern is now proof of address. As, I have none. But, I'm hoping to contact the American Embassy when I return and see if they have any suggestions.

Hey Nick, Fairly recently, there WAs a change to the rules for pet moves to Ireland. Until that Point, pet relocation companies were a requirement, and all pets had to go through Dublin. I've had confirmation from another mover on here, that that is no longer the case. However, if you arrive into Ireland as your first port of entry in to the EU, then you still need to go through the Lissenhall vet check in Dublin. Aer Lingus, have long been an approved carrier, but generally it's down to the individual airlines whether they will transport pets or not. Vari ...
