Medical Coding HCPCS/CPT/ICD-10

SHANNON OBRIEN — Sat, 02 Mar 2024 00:18:08 +0000

HI!

Does anyone know how the medical coding system works in Ireland? HCPCS & CPTs were created by WHO (World Health Organization) so I know Ireland uses the same coding system as the U.S. but what companies or independent contractors assign the codes & what are the positions called?

Has anyone gotten a work permit through the Intra-Company Transfer Employment Permit program?

Shannon J. — Wed, 20 Jul 2022 16:50:15 +0000

My wife and I have a semi-unique position related to our visa plan. We run our families' company and are looking to open an Irish branch and then submit our work permits through the company. We have a meeting with an attorney this week and are wondering if anyone has done this process? Are there any specific questions/pitfalls you'd advise we bring up with the attorney. Thanks so much!

Self employed

Xenophile — Tue, 24 May 2022 16:23:54 +0000

Hi - hoping someone may have some insights. . . I am moving to Ireland with my husband next spring. He is an Irish citizen, I am American. He has not lived in Ireland for many years so we will basically be starting fresh once we arrive.

I am a small business owner here in the states and would love to continue that work once we are in Ireland. Because of the way I am immigrating, many of the “foreigners wanting to move to Ireland and start a business” details I find online don’t apply to me.

Has anyone else done this or have any guidance? I suppose I could have him open the business, but it’s my baby, and I’d love to do it myself if possible. ☺️
I’d love to get started right away as building up a business takes time and I would like this to be my source of income, so don’t want to wait until I can finally apply for citizenship myself.

So grateful for any pointers, links, or insights from this super helpful community. ❤️

Dual Citizen-live in IRE, continue to work remotely for US employer

Kathy — Wed, 01 Sep 2021 23:52:15 +0000

I am a dual Irish/US citizen. I have lived/worked in the US for most of my career. I attempted to move to IRE right before the pandemic (so own property, vehicle, have Irish driver's license and PPS #), returned to US and got caught in pandemic lockdowns.

Took job in US while stuck here, but now would like to finalize becoming full time resident in Ireland. However, I like my US employer and they are willing to continue employing me remotely from Ireland.

How might that work? I understand there are treaties between the two countries to avoid double taxation and to pay social security benefits once eligible for it. Curious how the practicalities would work - ie: would my pay continue to go to my US bank account, be transferred to IRE bank account, then I would somehow report/pay taxes to IRE? Do I need to set up as a "self-employed" business in IRE? Are there businesses in IRE that I would need to work for who act as a middleman for tax purposes?

Thanks in advance for advice from anyone who have had experience with this situation.

Self-Employed/Author Residency Questions

Megan Kardos — Sun, 14 Mar 2021 19:26:38 +0000

I am a US citizen and full-time author in the early stages of planning a move to Ireland with the idea of eventually acquiring long term residency.

I have spent the past 7 years earning a living through the sale of my books. Though royalty payments have fluctuated I am in a position now where I make a steady income (above Irish minimum wage) and am capable of supporting myself. The vast majority of my royalty payments come from Amazon.

I have scoured the INIS website trying to figure out what and reached out (via email) to the office but have yet to hear back from anyone. I am sure the Covid19 situation is slowing things down but am a bit stuck when it comes to figuring out which residency permit I would apply for.

An Irish friend suggested I reach out the the embassy but I thought I'd post the question here before I take that route.

Can anyone direct me either to which employment scheme I would fall under or who to reach out to get that information? Thanks!

Returning to Ireland as remote worker

E Rian — Thu, 23 May 2019 02:05:46 +0000

Hi all

Hoping for some advise, My family and I moved to the Caribbean 12 months ago and during this time I have received a promotion which allows remote work.

It is essentially a World Wide company but my payroll will remain in Grand Cayman were I reside.

We are and Irish family and would like to know the options for residing in Ireland whilst working remotely.... how would payroll or Tax work.... bare in mind we pay Zero tax on our salary in Cayman currently (but the cost of living cancels-out the “perks”)

Its a great job and opportunity but we would love to know if remote work whilst living in ireland makes sense....

Dealing with Irish self-employment taxes

Kevin — Mon, 25 Jun 2018 15:41:59 +0000

Hi,

Does anyone have experience with self-employment taxes in Ireland? I'm a US and Irish citizen considering a move to Ireland. I'm self employed here in the US. I'm aware of the 2555 Foreign Earned Income form for paying my US taxes while abroad, but paying taxes into the Irish system ... that I'm not so clear on. I've read information on citizensinformation.ie, but does anyone have experience with this or recommendations of someone to speak with? Thanks.

Dual Canadian-EU citizen moving to Ireland with no job lined up - what can I expect?

Smitten with Ireland — Thu, 08 Feb 2018 22:39:10 +0000

Hi there! I'm planning to move to Ireland (Dublin is the plan due to opportunities and the nature of my work, but willing to go anywhere in the Republic) this May or June after falling in love with the country during a visit in 2015. I am a 24-year-old woman and dual Canadian-Italian citizen with five years work experience as a digital marketing specialist. For the most part, I have been optimistic about this move/finding a job in Ireland as I do strongly believe I possess a skill set that's in high demand, especially in Dublin, being the tech hub that it is. That said, I am also trying to be realistic and understand that Dublin is extremely expensive and finding a job is no jog in the park. I have some self-employed income, so my plan is to find part-time work in Dublin or wherever, and work for myself the rest of the time. I have applied to a few gigs, but no word back yet -- I read on here that applying from overseas is not the best way to go about it. That said, I am also looking into work exchange opportunities that offer room and board so I at least have a roof over my head when I arrive. I also plan to come with some money saved, about 7k euro, as well as access to a line of credit if I find myself in a dire situation.

So really my question is -- is it realistic for me to think I can find a job in my field within a few months after arriving in Dublin, or should I be prepared to be unemployed for a long while and eat through all my savings?

Any advice I can get on this would be greatly appreciated. I know myself and have always been able to make it work financially, but I also have been quite privileged, so I'm trying to stay realistic like I said.

Thank you in advance!

Signed,
Smitten with Ireland

Finding work in Ireland as a EEA citizen?

Svenja Wunderlich — Sun, 18 Jun 2017 13:53:11 +0000

Hi!

I've been wondering how easy it is to find work in Ireland as an EEA citizen before moving. I have a degree in geomatics (surveying/cartography), which is a pretty specialised field, so I would be looking for anything, really.

I am just wondering what my chances are to actually get a job and how fast I would have to move. I've heard it could be they want me to start within 2 weeks after the interview or something. Can that really happen? Would it be wiser to look for a job in the country? (I'd need to figure out if and how I would get any benefits though...)
