Hi Priscilla,

I don't know what the procedures are for people from outside the EU.

The most frowned upon items are foodstuffs and requirements for quarantine for
pets.
Foodstuffs because of the possibility of infection.  Meat products because of Foot & Mouth,
Swine Flu, Brid Flu, etc; also declarations about any time spent on farms with livestock.
Ireland has a thriving agricultural sector  so care has to be taken for all of the above - and also Rabies for pets.

You might want to check out the Irish Naturalisation and immigration Service Website

  and   

You will not be able to work in Ireland or receive any benefits without a PPS (Personal Public Service) Number



This is another useful website:


Ireland is a highly popular destination for skilled people.
During the boom years (before 2007) many skilled nurses and doctors from the Philippines, Africa and India settled in Ireland and provide excellent services to local communities.



There are many firms offering legal advice and visas but I am suggesting you first contact a government department for the best unbiased information if you are in any doubt about what the requirements are  -before spending money on solicitors fees.
