- Why move?
Hmm a lot of reasons , in some countries - with lower wages , people are struggling to pay their bills and are looking for other options .and crises in EU
- Flights ?
If you live in EU
then Ryan air is the cheapest for sure and Irish airline Aerlingus is very help-full too .
- What should you take ?
If you are moving for good then i think there is no point of taking 5 big baggage bags and then going mad of getting them to final destination .Just pack necessary things and go . Will be easier travel and less stress . And remember to carry your ID and get insurances !
- Living in Ireland ( apartment / house / location )?
Ok where to live is very important question . first you have a choice Apartment or house . I`d say apartment . In here all house usually are cold . regular house would be 3 bedroom . House are rarely decorated with something else except white everywhere . You have one radiator in each room (Lucky if central heating is working ) .All older houses are with carpets. Houses have very thin walls so if you are in your room watching movie , that's just a matter of time that neighbor will complaint .Shower normally have small air heater ( takes around 10 minutes to warm up ) and shower have to switched on before ( as it takes time too ).Main reason why i go for apartments is that they are in big complexes and you have very secure areas . They are more warmer and rooms are bigger . Bills come usually cheaper .
- Location - bit outside of central areas is the best . Online site where to look for place is daft.ie
- Living in Ireland ( household expenses )
As i see a lot of foreigners thing that in here they will get 1000 on hand easy and can safe millions in year , but their bubble is burst when they meet reality .
Renting a room expenses :
- rent 250-400 a month sometimes payable 1/4 every week . + when you move in deposit is required ( the same amount as month rent )
- electricity : quite expensive . if you share you would get bill every 2 months and divide by people living in place would be around 50 euro minimum in winter months even more - depending on place and people who uses heater a lot .
- water : there is no bill . ( In some countries there is water bill too )
- bin charges : depends of place could be 10 a month .
- Gas : the same as electricity
- shared house supplies : depends of agreement between other tenants.
- food expenses : I just felt like listing few items here . milk - 1.50, bread 1.40 . pack of rice around 2.00 , cookies - from 1.50 .
- Jobs ?
To get job in Here is not that bad . You just write up your CV and the best is to walk around and talk with people and live contact details .(That is of course for not major profession work )
Job salary is around 8.75 everywhere some places they pay 9 or you can get some bonuses . And you get paid every week (Normally on Friday )
Online job search sites : Gumtree.ie and jobs.ie
- Needed paperwork ?
Major thing is PPS number , insurance , register with revenue to be clear about your taxes and others depends of person .
- Medical services ?
If you don't have Family doctor registered and no medical card`s and things like that - you have to pay 60 euro for each visit to doctor at you local health center .not including any prescription medical supplies .
- Parties?
hmm This will be different for everyone , but more or less there pubs everywhere they are open from afternoon till 3 am maximum . In day time they usually show matches ( rugby , football , american football some and others .)On big games you cant walk thought pub - its so damn full in day time .
In there are offered pints of all kinds of beer , bottles and stronger drinks too .
pints and bottle cost around 5 euro each . coca - 2.50 . strong spirit from 4.00
- other good info is in citizen`s information .
- Transportation ?
Mostly people would walk or use cars , but there is some people that use bicycle ( Only down side is that it it very windy ) , very rare scooter ( Mostly pizza delivery guy`s) .
Public transport is good . Buss stops are everywhere in bigger ones you have " Tv`s " showing how many minutes left till next bus and on all buss stops is bus info . + bus stops and mostly with roof and if it is raining ( Its happening a lot ) you are saved . Tickets around 2,5 euro one way . Other transport is Luas . Goes in Dublin (in south-side and north-side) all together 2 lines . Best way to move in Dublin for sure . No It would be similar as tramway , just faster and more comfortable . tickets is very easy to buy at Luas stop - cost around 2 euro one way . Then there is dart (train ) services . They would be more expensive and would go everywhere . So transportation is ok !
- Weather ?
Ok... Dear Traveler ... IF YOU ARE ADDICTED TO SUN - PLEASE RECONSIDER COMING TO IRELAND . Because , in Ireland its mostly raining , and it is cloudy , sun comes out rare and even then for limited time . Even when forecast say`s that its 17 degrees .. It does not mean a lot , because when wind from seaside comes along - you can not feel any sunshine warmth .
But at the end of the day you have see it all for yourself ...
PS.- (If you smoke ) cigarette packet (20 cigarettes inside ) cost 9,20 euro .
