Moving to Ireland.... I want to hear it all

Hey all, we are looking to move to Ireland in the next 12-18 months and I just don't even know where to begin! We need to register his birth as his father is Irish so he is eligible for citizenship (I think). And from there I will apply for a spouse visa right? But apart from that, I'm feeling a bit lost. I work for a multinational company so I hoping to have a job lined up but hubby here in OZ runs his own business. So he will be applying for jobs before we go. Hubby has a whole bunch of Family in Ireland (aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents) and we really want our kids to have an opportunity to get to know their Irish Heritage and family. Has anyone on here made the trip over to Ireland from Oz recently? How did it go? What were your biggest frustrations. Were there things that were easier than expected? Have you found the move worthwhile? I would greatly appreciate any help/advice anyone has to offer. Thanks in advance!! xx

Hello, we sold up everything on Magnetic Island, Nth Qld, Australia and travelled to Ireland in February 2015 hoping to find our retirement property. We are dual British/Australian citizens so had no problem relocating and there is also a reciprocal agreement between Australia and Ireland re pensions etc. We could change over our Australian driving licence for an Irish one easily too. We left Northern Ireland in 1971 to come and live in Australia. You will find a lot of my comments on this forum. Sadly, it did not work out for us. We returned to Australia June 2016. The main problem we found was the dysfunctional real estate system...a total nightmare. Five offers, four building inspections and 'take it or leave it' vendors. We were mainly based in South West Cork (Sheepshead Peninsula) which is a stunningly beautiful area but try as we might Ireland was not to be. We travelled widely searching (East to West). We have no regrets. We travelled while there and saw places we would not have travelled to from Australia and at least we will not spend the rest of our lives wondering "What if?" There is a lot to miss about Ireland, the people are wonderful, their priorities are less materialistic than here in Oz and the proximity to Europe etc for travel is great. When we reluctantly returned to Oz on 12 June 2016, we signed a contract to purchase on 27 June and took possession on 12 August - try doing that in Ireland! Having said that we have found settling back in Australia difficult, We have a lovely house with fantastic sea views but we find life in Australia boring; comfortable but boring. Sadly after 16 months searching for our retirement home without success in Ireland we had to make a decision as money was draining away so we returned Downunder. Rental properties are hard to find and expensive in Ireland. We thought we would have bought a property within three months (duh!) so we sent our time there moving from one holiday let to another (expensive!) though did find a spot for our last six months (off season). We had done an enormous amount of research and had been in contact with real estate agents before travelling to Ireland but this did not help on the ground. My Plan B was to buy in Italy but due to the changing political climate (illegals flooding into Europe, Italy etc) we decided although we had travelled to Italy, the situation was fast becoming 'difficult'. to say the least, so had to give up that dream. I hasten to add that everyone's experience is different so do not give up on your dream. Ireland is a wonderful country with wonderful people and even if in the long term it does not work out, it is well worth the trouble to have the experience. Good Luck!

If you can get your Husband's father's documents, ie birth certificate, parent's marriage certificate, plus his own certified birth certificate, plus Australian passport if he has one, he will be able to get Irish citizenship / passport and when you arrive there, you as his wife will be given a one year residency card, renewable for 3 years until you get citizenship yourself. Children also will get the same I believe.
However, please don't count all the eggs as live chickens until they hatch. As FlowerFairy mentioned, the chore of finding a home may be quite difficult. Rentals are extremely expensive and hard to find and trying to buy is very difficult if not impossible in some areas. Then to find a job will be another problem. Much of this was caused by the financial collapse in 2008. Since then, not much building went on so now there is shortages in areas where there is work. Plus the Estate agents in Ireland are not noted for their kindness or honesty. Some are OK, but some could care less about your needs. I have not been back for 2 years so some things may have changed. I still have relatives that farm there, and I probably will go back for a VISIT in late fall. At times in the past I have asked my Mother and her siblings that came over with her in 1929 if they ever thought about moving back. They all said NO. They are and have been better off living in the US. All 7 were successful and lived good lives here but all are now gone. My Mother being the last one at age 97. They all lived into their 90s. Best you not make the mistake of selling everything in Australia and then come as a whole family to start fresh without some careful research. Possibly one of you should come first and scout where and what and when before bringing the whole family. My Grandfather and the oldest son came over to the US in 1927 and got established and then sent for my Grandmother and other 6 children in 1929. My mother was 16 but the youngest was 4. The other thing you need to realize is the weather in Ireland is not the best. After living in Australia you might find it so different. Ask FlowerFairy. If you read back on some of her posts you will get the idea what she thought about the weather. I look at it this way. I have had a Irish passport for near 30 years and have made many trips there including living there for about 1 1/2 years. I consider it a nice place to visit but I cannot find it a great place to permanently live. It certainly is part of my heritage but so is Norway where my Father immigrated from. But Norway is much too cold for me and extremely expensive. Again nice to visit only.

Irish citizenship, at this writing, still extends to grandchildren, so your children my be eligible for Irish citizenship as well.

I moved to Ireland from the US over 20 years ago. I live in rural west Cork and had no idea what I would go through as an American but I travelled here alone. This was before the island became a lot more multi-cultural. I've had enough of Ireland and if I had the money, would be outta here like a shot.

Hello Muddled,
I'am not trying to be facetious , but why did it take you so long to realize all the things you stated about being a outsider, the weather and cost of living was putting a damper on your adventure.
Did you you go to Ireland as a person seeking employment or a career ? Or was going there as a retiree was your plan? Do you have your own home there ,are you engaged in the community activities . Of course the weather is a no t a big secret .
I ask this because I have been going back and forth for the last couple of years . Purchased a home outside of Sneem. I stay for three to six months at a time. I have dual citizenship just waiting for my wife's dual citizenship to come thru . She retires this year as I am already retired. , we are moving permanently , we love it even the weather . I live in Florida and the wet clear .,cool air is a blessing ,as I'am originally from N.Y.S. So my inquiries into your reasons on how you feel , would be helpful tome and others. Thank you!

Hi Muddled: Needless to say I do not know your position but I am sure you moved to Ireland for the right reason back then. Circumstances change and rather than looking back thinking your original decision was wrong, try and look forward and see what you can do for the future. Not easy I know. As you probably know from reading my posts, we risked everything (in our mid and late 60s) and came to Ireland seeking to retire and have a base so we could travel easier than from Australia. It didn't work out for us; after 16 months we had to make a very quick decision to return as money was disappearing at a rapid rate and felt we had no other option but to return. Despite the fact we had to start again from scratch, we were able to buy a very nice home (at a giveaway price) in a very nice spot (it was one time in our lives that we were in the right place at the right time) we have found it very difficult to settle back in Australia. Travelling to Ireland was both the best and worst thing we could do; travelling has shown us what we are missing but are now in a position where we are just going to have to resign ourselves that "this is it" as our only income is the Aged Pension. We are bored to death and each day we ask "What are we going to do for the rest of our lives?". There is no point in me waffling on as I don't know your circumstances but if you are in the position to return it may be best to take a loss and follow your heart. The danger is now that you have been in Ireland for so long, you may be more 'Irish' than you think and may miss it if you did leave! Have you managed to return 'home' at any stage? Once uprooted it is often the case one is split forever. Sorry, not sure that last bit will be very helpful! Sometimes you just have to take a risk. When old age is upon us, the only thing left are our memories which hopefully on balance will be good and we don't end up bitter. Good Luck and I really hope you will be able to follow your heart and things work out in the future. As for us? We will just have to look back on our memories and hope we don't die of boredom!

Hi! I saw you were from NY and have a home in Sneem. We tried to buy a place there...but couldn't as the banks would not give us a mortgage as our retirement income did not count as earned. I have dual citizenship. May I ask where abouts in the Sneem area. We came back to central NY ( originally from LI). We hope to just travel back and forth when we can..unless the NYS lottery comes thru! Cheers!
PS...Think of us if you stop in at O'Shea's or Riney's...they were our hangouts ( we were renting a home in Castlecove).

Muddled is telling you just about the same thing I have been telling all that want to move from the US to Ireland. It is not the same as living in your place of birth. Muddled said it very well, and I will say it again. AS soon as you open your American mouth or Australian mouth and start speaking, they know you are not "One of THEM". Mind you, most Irish will treat you well enough, but when it comes down to facts, YOU ARE NOT ONE OF THEM. Plus, the weather is cold and wet most of the time, the cost of living is higher than most places in the US (Maybe not the Big Apple) but most other places in US it is cheaper. Now the exchange rate for the Euro has gone from $1.07 up to $1.19 and may go higher yet. I live in Florida now, but most of my working life was in New England. Last 35 years was in Vermont so moving for retirement to Florida was a fair option. I realize that we spend 6 months here in Florida in the air conditioned house, car and everywhere else. It would be nice to see a 55 F morning now and then in August or September. However, come November through April, we don't need to shovel sunshine. We lived in Ireland for the better part of 18 months in 2013 - 2015. We NEVER intended to stay for the rest of our lives. It was a base so we could visit other parts of Europe easily which we did. I would not recommend to anyone from the US or Australia to move there permanently. But if one cannot be reasoned with, do yourself a favor and rent for at least a year before buying anything. Do Not burn your bridges behind you. As I said before, Ireland is a nice place to VISIT, and I appreciate that 50% of my heritage is Irish, but my Mother would have never moved back as she well knew she was better off in the USA.

Hi JoyousGem,

I'm a longtime member of the Ireland board here on Expat Exchange. I spent a great deal of time on this board doing research before our move over in January, 2017. I am happy to report that the move went very smoothly and that we have a happy ending to our relocation story. We weren't interested in buying at first, so simply scouted Daft for rentals in rural West Cork, where you get a great deal of house for the money. We have a five bedroom, three bath house in a gorgeous location for €850 per month, utility bills are much lower than we were used to, as are groceries. Currently, I'd say our cost of living is significantly lower than New England...and our quality of life is much improved. People are friendly and courteous, the crime rate is low, the scenery is absolutely fantastic and we feel quite pleased with our decision. We're near Skibbereen and it is a lively little town with plenty of markets and fun shops and restaurants--and a great art center. I should mention we are retirement age and in the creative arts so our viewpoint will naturally be different from those who are in the job market or looking to buy a home. It is a different culture than we were used to in America, but I'd say that is a good thing. I hope if you're considering a move you rent for a year and take time to get acclimated before committing to buying a house. Good luck in weighing all the factors and making a decision.

Mellis5910: I don't know where you lived in New England, but except for the City of Boston and some of the surrounding high priced commuter towns, most other places in Massachusetts has a lower cost of living than Ireland. In fact NUMBEO says between 4% and 20 % in many places. The big differences is in housing, utilities and transport. Gasoline is almost 3 times in Cork. Much of the food in Ireland is a bit cheaper, but not all. Milk and chicken is much higher in Cork area, but vegetables are less. If I consider the difference between Cork and here in central Florida, it is about 25% less here. The big thing now and in the future is the exchange rate. If one is retired and living on a US fixed income, the cost of the Euro becomes your biggest fear. Obvious, if you have a large enough income you probably can survive. But don't forget, no matter how much money or friends you make, you will NEVER become "One of them". Then there is the Irish bureaucracy and their snails pace of service. Another worry is and will be for some time is the healthcare situation. They do NOT have enough facilities or staff. Again, nice place to visit, but living ones life there is far from practical for Middle class Americans.

"The cost of living" is always going to be a concern, no matter where one lives. If you're not financially secure, particularly as a retiree, Ireland, as well as most all first-world countries outside of the US are going to pose issues, e.g. exchange rates. Don't single out Ireland for this -- I remember a time when you could buy a house in silicon valley for $23,950 and a Coke for a dime -- the dollar just ain't what it used to be. I didn't come to Ireland thinking it would be a great economic move; I came because it was a great for my emotional and spiritual well-being, and in that regard it was the best decision of my life. Mental health doesn't show up on a financial statement! As for never "being one of them" -- well, why should I expect that? Am I somehow entitled, being an American? Do my French or German or Polish neighbours expect that they would become "one of them" when they came to Ireland? No, and why should my experience be different? if an Irish man or woman moved to one of those countries, they would expect to become French or German or Polish in a year or ten? Of course not. An Irish guy who goes to the US is still going to be Irish; why should an American living in Ireland anticipate a different experience? (Even with Irish 'blood' somewhere in the distant past.)
As for health care? I can be certain I can see my personal doctor within a half hour of arrival; NO appointment necessary, during his office hours. and he remembers my name and conditions without having to look them up. After hours? There's an on-call doc who will COME TO MY HOUSE if need be. Public hospital? Plenty of technology and quality care. Private hospital? It looks like a five-star resort, including a grand piano in the atrium lobby. And health insurance is cheap by US standards. Now, everyone's experience is different. I'm enjoying mine very much, thanks!!!

Well said! dave8408e. I agree with all you have stated, particularly about the emotional and spiritual well-being. It is not all about money (though obviously one has to have enough to live on). Unfortunately, the weather broke us and ruined our well-being but there is a lot we miss about Ireland and had no problem with the services. Bantry Medical Centre was exemplary (though we did not have anything major). What amazed us was that Doctor, Dentist, Vet and other service providers were not rabid to get your money and yes, they remembered you!. Here in Australia you must pay 'on the day' which we expect to do but in Ireland it was very casual. In a country which is financially burdened we found this aspect amazing! Yes, there is a lot to miss about Ireland.

Hi Joyousgem! How are you finding the feedback? You did say you wanted to hear it all..... I hope you do follow your dream as each and everyone of us finds their own experience.

joyousgem
  9/4/2017 21:37 EST

This has all been really helpful, thank you for the feedback and info. There are a couple of reasons that we are looking to make the move:
1. My husbands father (Irish) has recently passed and my husband has many (many) Aunts/uncles/cousins in Ireland. We really want our children to have an opportunity to connect with my husbands side of the family and also to really get a feel for their Irish Heritage.
2. We need a change of pace/scenery. Melbourne life is hectic, all the time. Although we would most likely find work in Dublin, we would move rural and would most likely rent for the time being. Although we are committed to a minimum of 2 years - it could become a permanent move depending on how we fare with the weather. Although - to be honest - Melbourne weather isn't that great either.
3. We want a local base to travel from in Europe - Traveling Europe with 3 kids is EXPENSIVE and we want to be able to do it over a number of years.

Since posting this a couple of weeks ago, we have actually found that my mother in law registered my husband at birth and so is already a citizen. Once his passport arrives, I believe we will also be able to apply for the children's passports. The advice we have had from the embassy as well is that I will be able to work on arrival with the stamp 4 in my passport. I will just need to register with the local immigration office (although other advice I have read on the net is varied so anyone who has actually gone through this process would be great to hear from - looks like I may not need a spousal visa after all?)
The most difficult part of this process for us I think will be finding my hubby work (as mentioned, I work for a multinational corp, so should be able to transfer) but he is a tradie here and run's his own business. So I am not sure how we will fare in getting him a job as soon as we land or before. Who know's - maybe one of his 50+ cousins will have a contact some where ;)
Thanks again for all the tips!

Dave has said it well, quality of life and affinity with one's environment are what matters, and we've found what we were seeking. The cost of living here is quite manageable, with a few perks like free travel thrown in to boot. And, BTW, I AM one of them, genetically and culturally, but as Dave noted, I didn't really expect to be instantly accepted, yet the welcome here has been warm and inclusive. Truly, I felt more like an outsider in New England and Florida than ever in Ireland. Each person who comes here brings their own expectations, resources and coping skills, so everyone will naturally have a different experience. It comes down to priorities in the final analysis. We are home, and absolutely loving it.

Seriously? You really cannot actually rely on Numbeo figures, they are a rough guide at best and in my personal experience, rural Cork is much cheaper than Rhode Island to live in--and I've lived in both places so know what the reality is. In any case, my remarks were directed to the young woman who asked for our personal experiences of moving to Ireland from overseas, they were not an invitation for you (or anyone else) to critique my choices or challenge my statements. We obviously have different opinions, and so must agree to disagree.

Hi Joyousgem: It looks as if it is all systems go for you and your family! Excellent! I was just about to post "don't be too analytical; take a leap of faith" but now there is no deed. Good Luck with the impending move. Yes, we wanted to be closer to Europe for travel as it is very expensive from Oz; particularly when one's only income is the Aged Pension. We did a little bit of travel inbetween house hunting: Altea (Spain - the program A Place in the Sun has a lot to answer for! We actually viewed one of the properties featured on the program); Barcelona; Prague, Cuba; Israel and Ostuni (Italy). Before selling up on Magnetic Island, we spent 4 weeks in Italy (Rome, Amalfi Coast, Orvieto, Florence, Verona, Venice (and places inbetween) then 2 weeks in Ireland. When we returned we sold up and departed to Ireland. Being closer to Europe is great for travel! Plan B (and my dream) was to retire in Italy but with one thing and another that did not eventuate. In some ways our recent travels have been the best and worst things we did - 'worst' because now we know what we are missing! We are finding it very difficult to settle back to life in Oz. We left Phillip Island in 2003 and headed to Nth Qld. We are now in East Gippsland. The only thing I would say is to be prepared for the incessant rain in Ireland. A stunningly beautiful country but the constant rain did us in! Good Luck! Perhaps in the future you could post on this forum and let us know how you fared. Cheers

Wishing you and your family the best of luck, JoyousGem. With so many relatives already here in Ireland, you'll have a much better chance in the job market to find something quickly. It may be a bit rainy for those used to warm and dry climates, but to me the climate here is quite temperate and I don't mind the rain, it just helps my garden to grow faster. :) I hope it all works out for you.

I've spoken to a lot of people who feel like you.
Ireland today is not the welcoming rich culture it was a couple of decades back. I would recommend it for a short trip (7/10 days) but not as somewhere to live. The Irish themselves leave in huge numbers (though foreign migrants more than replace them).

I moved from the US , not Oz but I do have some input

First, unless they changed things in the past couple of years you won't be able to apply for your spousal visa and stamp 4 until after you arrive. Inform immigration/customs officials when you arrive that you are moving to Ireland and they will direct you to apply for your visa at the nearest Guarda station. They are in the process of changing some of the process though so watch the citizen ie information website for the most up to date info. You will get your stamp 4 at this point. Be sure to bring your children's birth certificates and passports to this meeting as well as you and your husband's information because they will want that information as well. If any or all of you already have a PPSN (public service number) bring that information as well.

Put obtaining a PPSN on your to do list because you now seem to need it for an increasing amount of things.

Depending on your employment situation Dublin is where a lot of the jobs are located but having a network to suggest local jobs is a great boon. I'm not sure if you are looking to move to a particular area but if your jobs are in Dublin a lot of people now commute due to cheaper and larger availablity of housing. With some great motorways the commute may not be as terrible as you would think. There are also busses and trains available from some areas but you will be better off with your own car if you go the commuter route.


Speaking of cars, recently they changed the insurance policies and any car that is more than 10 years old is all but impossible to obtain insurance unless you are renewing on an existing policy and rates for those have increased over the past couple of years. Allegedly this is to get older vehicles which may be less safe off the road. Just keep that in mind if you are shopping for a used car. Newer cars generally have lower emissions and pay cheaper road tax but obviously cost more to buy.

You didn't give the ages for your children so I'm not sure if child care will apply to your situation but Ireland has notoriously high cost child care compared with the rest of Europe so many women who work do so to hold their position in a company knowing that most if not all of their salary goes to child care. Staying at home means that your spouse will get tax credits, though they aren't huge, it's something to offset staying home until the kids no longer need childcare.

Schools in Ireland often have waiting lists to get in so you will need to sign your children up for a school, or multiple schools, as soon as possible. They also give priority to children with siblings in the same school which is helpful as they get older but may not help you now. I think they have officially done away with requiring a baptism certificate for school enrollment but I don't know if that's been implemented, or just passed. Sometimes there's a lag between saying they are going to do something and something being put into practice. Moving here is lovely but you will need patience because things happen slowly and in their own time.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask any questions. Everyone's experience is different but input can be valuable, especially in the beginning when everything seems so daunting.
