Destination Guide

Ireland offers opportunities in technology, financial services, pharmaceuticals, professional services, healthcare, construction, manufacturing and supply-chain management. Dublin is the main employment hub, while Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford also have strong sectors and generally lower housing costs than the capital. Irish culture is friendly and social, with pubs, music, sport and community life playing an important role. The lifestyle combines city amenities with accessible coastlines, countryside and heritage sites, though rain and rapidly changing weather are common. Rent and childcare can be expensive, particularly in Dublin, so accommodation should be arranged early. EU, EEA and Swiss nationals can generally live and work without an employment permit. Other applicants usually need an eligible job offer and the appropriate employment permit, followed by immigration registration where required. Confirm current rules with Ireland’s Department of Enterprise and Immigration Service before relocating.
