Ireland: FBR with a missing document ?:

Hello charlespoppy, If you go to www.dfa.ie (foreign birth registration ) it states if all the documents are not enclosed the application will be returned. If your mother is deceased a copy of her death certificate is all you would need. There is a phone number that you might get a more satisfactory answer, it is 011 353(0) 1 408 2555 between the hours of 10 & 1 GMT. Hope this helps Good Luck !!

Ireland: Question re US docs for FBR:

Hello Mc60s, Could you be more specific or give an exact reason why you need to know. It's been years since procuring my dual citizenship. My GF birth certificate and birth date on his U.S. documents are off by a week, but that was common back in the 1860's . The birth of a child and putting the birth on or registering it with the state on paper and or with the church was by word. Of mouth and dates were mixed up between birth dates and baptism dates , but that was a minor mixup that didn't affect the process. Other document mistakes could make a difference in obtaining citizenship of Ireland, that is one of the reasons for certified state copies. To give you an exact answer, we would have to know what kind of problem if any you have.. Just to let you know you can obtain dual citizenship by getting all the documents on your own and following the instructions of the Foreign Birth Registry . . Don't pay hundreds and hundreds of dollars to someone else when you can do it on your own. Good Luck !

Ireland: Registry:

Hello Mconno, You don't have to prove it, just have proof your father was a Irish citizen either by being born in Ireland , or thru your grandfather,this can be done by having their birth certificates, showing where they were born. If your father was born in Ireland you are an automatic citizen of Ireland ,but if your grandfather was born in Ireland and your father was born outside of Ireland say a US citizen , you would have to claim Irish citizenship thru your grandfather thru thr the Foreign Birth Registry. Go to Irish Citizenship .ie to see for yourself and to find out how to procure your Irish Citizenship. Good luck !

Ireland: Buying Health Insurance:

Hello Chibelle, If retiring to Ireland as a non citizen or non EU citizen you have to abide by irelands residency rules , which is basically you have to prove you have X amount of money a set amount annually plus X amount of savings so you don't become a burden on the state. You also have to have health insurance, to access private hospital and physicians as well as state hospitals . You can go to Pacific Prime.com to see a wide variety of health insurance companies that serve Ireland. Just follow the instructions for what country or area you want insurance for and you can get quotes or contact them directly. I hope this helps . Good Luck !!!

Ireland: Mobile Home Laws?:

Hello Marv1996 , you are correct ,you can't just put a mobile home on a piece of land. They have zoning laws and health code laws that must be followed . You can put a mobile home on a property that already has a home on the property. Also they have strict codes on the construction and placement of Tiny Homes , just mentioning in case you were think along those lines. The mobile home parks seen through out Ireland are vacation homes and most are seasonal .you will have to look up the code and variances in the county and area you will buy the land. Good Luck !!!

Ireland: Health Insurance:

Hello , Kevinfromkinsalevianyc , Did you try PacificPrime.com, then select country. There is at least a dozen groups that offer decent coverage for a reasonable price, they don't cover the U.S. But if you are only in Ire. For three months at a time can't you still keep your coverage from NYC. Just a thought

Ireland: Death certificate:

Hello Joshuak, how did your son get registered , was it thru you ? You need the death certificate. to complete the lineage. I went thru my GP.'s they were from Ire and got married in the U.S. and had a child ,my father . When I went Thru FBR my GP's were deceased and I needed their death certificates to continue proof of lineage. If they were not deceased I would only had to show proof they were alive, drivers license or passport copies. In the directions on registering for dual citizenship thru FBR it stipulates a death certificate.or proof of life.

Ireland: Advice on moving to Ireland:

Hello Ausinireland , wish you the best of luck in your families new endeavor . If I were you I would go to Education.ie for info on schooling if that doesn't help in all your queries there's a section to ask a query, still not satisfied there's blogs on Ire. education system. As far as moving to Ire. go to the INIS.gov.ie for info on getting the proper entry stamp into the country. To find out about rentals and buying you can get a broad feel of real estate costs, of course there are other sites also . There is nothing like making the trip to get a feel for where you want to reside. Your employment background is highly sought after I know, II was in that field in the U.S. look to see if you can be sponsored by the company who employs you now if not go back to the INIS site for more info. As far a getting info from this site a majority of the folks here are of retirement age and most are cynical of Ire. either because they couldn't get residency in Ire. Or if they did , they were turned away by banks attempting to secure mortgages , they couldn't because of age, plus pensions , investments and social security does not qualify. Also I believe by age 66 the mortgage must be satisfied. These situations tend to change most folks opinions and find all the negatives. About the country, if that isn't enough, they blame the weather! So I can't emphasize enough to do your due diligence on the subject yourself, good luck!
