Welcome

Yes feel free to post any questions you may have and someone will reply to you.

Hello

My girlfriend and I are moving in Galway in a month and we are searching a home. My girlfriend has won a fellowship in the University and we are already living in a foreign country in Asia where renting is cheap and fast.

It's been months now and our search is very difficult because the prices are expensive. We thought about waiting to get there and search once in Galway but now we are considering canceling the whole project which was to stay in Ireland until the end of the year.

I subscribe on this website hoping to find some help.

Thanks you all for reading my post.

Hey y'all!

I am an American/Italian dual-citizen living in the United States.  I would really enjoy living and working abroad in the EU, looking for opportunities in the Software Industry (Product Management, Project Management, Consulting, or QA/Support team leadership.

Ireland would be my top choice as I'm part-Irish, am a Hibernophile, and because Ireland has a well-developed Tech industry.

Nice to be here!

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

If you have a valid EU passport, then it's really easy as you have the right to live and work anywhere in the EU.  So, my advice is to join LinkedIn, reach out to your peers across the whole EU and find out who is hiring, where and when, then you can target those companies with your CV; the world is your oyster.

I hope this helps.

Hi Julien, I and my wife are retired Americans who have traveled to Ireland quite extensively. On several occasions staying a month at a time. Never on a tour. We have always rented cottages or houses. Touring on our own schedule or sometimes just enjoying the country life of Ireland in both summer and winter. Each time with the thought of making Ireland our home.

I have obtained Irish citizenship through ancestry.

We are now in the process of getting all our affairs in order so that we can take up residencey in Ireland. Our intention is to rent an apartment in Dublin for the first year. And take that time to experience city life in Dublin and perhaps take our time buying a property either near Dublin or in the country.

We are quite sure, with my citizenship.it will not be a problem taking up residencey in Ireland. However. We would want to maintain at least one automobile to enjoy the countryside as we have on our many trips to Ireland. But for an American that seems to present a major issue. My understanding is that once you take up residencey in order to get a license you have to turn in your valid license for a learners permit. Then go through at least six driving lessons and apply for a road test. A process that could take weeks our months. And then past a test. While all this time only being able to drive with a licensed person in the car and not on any motorways.

It seems to me many American come to live in Ireland face this problem. It would be very helpful to know if there are any exceptions to this rule for a person like myself who is a very experienced driver. Do you or anyone on the forum have experience with navigating this conundrum? Or am I somehow misunderstanding the process?

Thank you for your welcome and my wife and I are very much excited to take up this new adventure.

Best regards, Ed

Hi edwingavin

Welcome in Ireland.

While it is a lovely country it might be easier to take up residency in a less crowded county than Dublin.

Finding a nice landlord is not always straight forward.

You have to check with rsa if you can change your US license into an irish one.

To be a bit worried, might be an advantage.
