Hey Jessalyn, Good to hear from you. I hope your move went well, and life is good 🙂 Thanks for this Info update. Very useful. Liam

Thanks for the WArm welcome Liam !! Yes I believe I will be apologising for Brexit and being English to every new person I meet in Ireland for a long time... Regarding banking, it's pretty limited being non-resident so I think either a standing order or cash is probably my best bet. I don't believe KBC have any branches (they call them 'hubs') where I can withdraw cash from a teller, so am restricted to ATMs and no WAy of getting a cashiers cheque. Does anyone know if landlords typically ask for the deposit and a months rent up front, or is it lets say 20 ...

Hi Giles @manilala and welcome to the site! Great first question! I don't exactly have personal experience with this, as I rented directly from a relative, and did in fact pay cash as a deposit. But it WAs for an amount far less than you mentioned above. Speaking from knowledge of others who have been in your situation, I can safely say you could run into any mix of requests for a deposit i.e bank transfer, cashiers cheque, cash, etc. The least safe is cash, and if you are asked to go that route, be sure to double check who you are handing money over to, ...

Hi’ any help or suggestions? We are selling our US holiday home after 6 years and WAnt to bring back the furniture to use in our home in Ireland. All the Info I find is based on changing residence which technically we are not. We have had our main home in Ireland all along. Will we be subject to duty and taxes? Also about 90% of the furniture WAs originally purchased in and shipped from Ireland to the USA 7 years ago because we thought we were moving permanently to the US. That plan changed and we returned to Ireland after 6 months but chose to not sell ...

Jim I believe the Info here should answer your first question Regarding you taking up employment, you would need to be eligible to do so, which most likely is not a given just because your wife will be. Unless of course you are an EU citizen. Welcome to the site. I hope you find it useful. Liam

Niall Just thinking... how did he end up on a Stamp 3? Maybe going from one visa type to another is where the issue lies? I'll re-read some of the Info here

Thanks for the reply! I have read through that thread, Kelsey's Info WAs just about invaluable. Nobody really mentioned the finance thing that I saw? so just needed to double check. Hopefully it hasn't changed, and won't change anytime soon! My move is planned for around a year from now, so just trying to work out what I need to set in motion now. When the time comes I'll definitely update y'all with my process, gotta pay it forward!

Welcome to the site @lanijean Lani. Let me know if you need help finding Info that you're looking for. Happy to help 🙂

Howdy folks! I'm Lani, from California, looking to move to Ireland to join my long distance Irish partner of 8 (!!!) years. I have lots of questions, as with everyone 🙂 Thank you so much for creating this site @moveclubadmin Liam. I WAs really struggling to find (and/or understand...) relevant Info before stumbling on these forums. Extremely helpful!

Hi Liam, Thank you, I'll let you know if I find out any useful Info. Best, Laura
