Your Relocation to Ireland
Moving to any foreign country can be a time consuming,
rigorous and daunting task. Before familiarising yourself with new
surroundings, there are strict rules and laws which must be adhered
to when planning to settle abroad. Before moving to Ireland it is
important that you find out whether you can legally live and work
in Ireland and exactly what documentation you will need to apply
for to attain entry clearance. After that it is wise to find out
as much information about important aspects including the cost of
living, accommodation, schools, transport etc. so that if you are
offered a job here you can take all facts into consideration to
help you make that ultimate decision.
Finding out if you qualify for legal entry to Ireland? To find out if you qualify for legal entry and to
practice in your profession you should firstly contact your nearest
Irish Consulate or Embassy who will provide the relevant information.
Should you need, the Department of Foreign Affairs will be able
to provide you with details of your nearest embassy.
Validating / Authentication of your Professional Qualifications to work in Ireland? Depending on your particular qualifications you
may need to have your qualifications authenticated or validated
to enable you to work in Ireland. There is no state registration
scheme at present for the validation of qualifications. Validation
for different professions in the Health and Social Care Sector can
be obtained through the National Validation Project based at Northern
Area Health Board offices in Swords, Co. Dublin.
