Returning to Ireland and PPS number

Post new topic

Martina89

Hello everyone,
my name is Martina, I'm Italian but living in Turkey at the moment. I've been living and working in Ireland for 4 years some time ago and now I'm thinking to go back.  When I left I remember having retrieved my taxes and probably my pps number too, so, does anyone know if in this case I should follow the usual procedure and get a new pps number, or do something else?
Thanks for any advice

Hi Martina,


No PPS Number is a little bit like the equivalence social security number. It's bound to you for life so you won't need a new one.

However, as soon as you found a new accommodation when you come back, make sure to update your address. You will probably have to go on revenue.ie and to ask that they send you over a letter with a new pass-code etc to your new postal address once you're back.

For job hunting, you're ready to roll as you already have a PPS number so you won't have to be bothered by emergency taxes etc. You won't need either a P45 as you were abroad when you left first time.

You'll need just your address to be updated as you'll be stuck otherwise for creating a new bank account unless you still have the one you had 4 years ago :D

Welcome back soon I suppose ^^

Best of luck for settling back.

Great, thanks very much for your answer Portgas :) I was afraid I would have to give taxes back or staff like that ... but no, it's lot easier :)

All the best
