Hi Ella, exciting prospects!
Firstly, I would say that the best thing to do would be to come on an extended holiday so that you can get a feel for the place before you decide to come and stay. That way, you can visit various locations as all parts of the island have a different vibe, and I'm sure you will find one to fit. There is an accommodation page on our website to find places to stay. Just scroll down to the
Where do you want to stay section and use the filters to refine your search.
Citizens Information has a page on
moving country that would be a good place to find out the information on moving here. It includes links to
coming to work and also
retiring to Ireland. Both have their rules and regulations on coming to live here. We have an
ultimate guide with handy information on weather, public transport, and many other topics to help with more personal questions.
The island of Ireland is a welcoming place for all people, including Americans, with or without any Irish heritage. They will say hello as you pass in the street, offer helpful suggestions and directions, and even give you a lift to where you want to go! So, come on over, check us out, read the rules of moving here to see if you qualify, and enjoy a visit! ☘️
