Documents and where to get them

In your country, before you leave

  • ID card or passport, valid for the whole move.
  • European Health Insurance Card, from your national health insurance: it covers necessary care in the first weeks, until you are insured in the new country.
  • Birth certificate (and marriage certificate, if married). Between EU countries, many certificates need no apostille and can come with a multilingual form that avoids translation (Regulation (EU) 2016/1191).
  • Criminal record certificate from your country of nationality and, if different, from where you lived recently: some employers ask for it. Request it close to the date it will be used.
  • Degree, transcript and references from previous jobs, digitally.

In Ireland

  • PPS number: your personal number for tax and social welfare. Apply through MyWelfare, with proof of an Irish address.
  • Revenue myAccount: register your job so the employer gets your tax credits; otherwise you pay emergency tax.

Step by step

Before you leave

  1. Sign the contract and confirm in writing the gross annual salary, the start date and the relocation support.
  2. Look for housing early: supply in Dublin is very tight. Be wary of adverts asking for money before a viewing.
  3. In your country, tell the authorities you are moving: update your registered address and your tax residence. In the year you leave, tax may be due for the part of the year you were still resident.

First week

  1. Apply for your PPS number on MyWelfare.
  2. Open a bank account.

First month

  1. Register your job on Revenue myAccount.
  2. Register with a GP; visits are usually paid, so check whether your employer offers health insurance.
