Introducing…Desert to Dublin. A blog for non-EEA student families in Ireland
Hey folks,
I want to take an opportunity to introduce you to another website that will be of immense use to any non-EEA immigrants moving to Ireland. Megan Crose (@mcrose on this site) is writing her blog from the perspective of a family who has moved to Ireland and has had to jump through some serious hoops to do so.
Megan's Documentation Checklist for Students with Families is essential reading for anyone in a similar situation. In another post Megan explains why her children were turned down for a place at their local primary school. It's crazy how badly misled they were! If you're immigration status is similar to hers, and you're bringing your kids along for the ride, it'll help you plan for exactly what's in store.
Megan also covers some pet travel topics amongst other things, and is planning on keeping the site updated with relevant, useful info for other expats.
I'm delighted that Megan has joined our little club here, and is adding valuable info to the comments and forum for all you movers.

Thanks for the shout out! I’m happy to answer any non-EEA questions to the best of my ability. Folks can feel free to contact me using the form on the right side bar of my blog. It’s been challenging for sure, but perhaps the silver lining is that I can make this information available to others and save them from the same headaches.
Happy to be a part of this community!
Megan,
Such a great read – I read through your whole blog in about an hour. Thank you for your insight!
Hi Megan, I’m interested in reading your blog entries because my wife and I will be in a similar student with family situation next September. However, it looks like your blog is ‘by invite only’. I’m wondering if I can get an invite somehow.
Thanks,
Edward
