Ireland

Prerequisites

Steps to follow

Recommendations

Valid Passport or National ID

Ensure your Italian passport or national ID card is valid for the duration of your stay.

Registration with Local Authorities

While there is no mandatory requirement to register with local authorities for EU citizens, it is advisable to inform them of your residence for administrative purposes.

Personal Public Service (PPS) Number

You need to apply for a Personal Public Service (PPS) number, which is essential for tax, social welfare, public services, and employment purposes. You can apply for a PPS number at a Social Welfare office.

Health Insurance

While public healthcare is available, it is advisable to have private health insurance. If you are employed, you may be covered by your employer's health insurance plan.

Employment

As an EU citizen, you are free to work without needing a work permit. Employers will require your PPS number and proof of identity.

Housing

Arrange accommodation before or soon after your arrival. The housing market can be competitive, particularly in larger cities like Dublin, so it's advisable to start looking early.

Bank Account

Opening an Irish bank account is recommended for salary payments and everyday transactions. You will need a PPS number, a valid ID, and proof of address to open an account.

Language

English is the primary language spoken in Ireland, so proficiency in English is important for daily life and work.
