... or immigration advice nor should it be solely relied upon for your own move, it's just a nice starting point for considerations to make if you are someone in a similar situation. About me: - I had a job lined up before moving to Dublin. My work permit WAs applied for and approved while I WAs in the US. It WAs sponsored by my new employer.- I live a minimalist lifestyle. I did not need contents relocation (someone shows up, packs your stuff, puts it in a shipping container, and delivers to you in Ireland). I WAs moving via checked/excess luggage and mailing ...

Hello All, Hope you are all enjoying the antics of the Irish at the Uefa cup! Has anyone with a U.S Green Card moved back to Ireland and kept it? Is this allowed? I am thinking of keeping my Green card status and would love to hear from those who are in the same position, or if they had to give it up and why?

Hi New boy here. We are from UK but have been living in France for six years. We are looking to move to Ireland as soon as we can arrange somewhere to live. Income derives from a Ltd company based in UK which also operates in Ireland. We will need a mortgage to purchase a property in Ireland ans as we have no history we have been told that we will need to rent a House for at least 6 months to qualify for the mortgage, so I have been looking at lots of potential properties on line and have sent a Total of 23 emails to various estate agents. Total responses? 3. If I ask for information we just get told "everything we have is on the website. Come in to the office to discuss it" even though we are in a different country. We have pets and we are looking for a property that is not on a busy road but if we ask about finding the House on Google maps it os "sorry, we can't help you with that, we may have some properties that would be suitable come into the office. They will not accept the fact that I am not going to spend days travelling on the off chance they might have something suitable. I am perfectly happy to travel to see something that I know is suitable beforehand. This is not a dig at Irish estate agents, French agents are even worse and charge more. So, anyone know of a House (min 3 beds/baths detached) in a quiet and secluded location, anywhere in Ireland that is to let for 6 months to a year that will accept pets. Budget 800-1500 a month and happy to pay 6 months up front. If the House turns out to be for sale at the end of the rental period that would be perfect, budget 250,000 - 350,000. It would save moving again. Sorry for the long winded rant but getting very frustrated.

I found the following on one of the US government webpages: A Green Card is valid for readmission to the United States after a trip abroad if you do not leave for longer than 1 year. If your trip will last longer than 1 year, a reentry permit is needed.

... furniture in storage, a House here that WAs having some legal points sorted out and a few other complications. so to finish the purchase over here I sorted a second mortgage on the UK House and fortunately we had a large touring caravan which we effectively lived in whilst the House finally sold and Chris could stop working which WAs paying a double mortgage UK side. All irrelevant except as a demonstration of a lesson learned. My Advice. Do not commit to anything over here until your House UK side is sold or if you have funds and consider Renting your U ...

Do yall think it's a bad idea to provide a copy of your credit report? I imagine since it's your American credit folks can't get access to it from there, but it does show all your accounts/previous accounts and all the little Green checkmarks all in a row showing "paid on time"... That looks pretty good!

A lot more details on this page:

Hi!I will be in the same situation (although I may be renting out our US House). I'd suggest getting a record of payments and a payoff statement from your mortgage company and presenting that as evidence of reliability along with some personal references they can contact like past employers, your lawyer, something like that.I've also been a landlord here in the states and have been on the other end of this. Being able to show that you have a serious amount of cash available to you helps a lot. You can offer them a copy of account statements with accounts numbers redacted as proof of ability to pay.Good luck!
