Hi all,

Newbie on the Ireland forum? Don't know how to start?

This thread is for you ;)

We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country,
or to tell us more on your expat projects in Ireland if you are planning to move there.

It will enable us to help you better but above all to wish you a warm welcome.

Welcome on board!

Hi and welcome to the Forum.


Assuming that your IMC is your registration with the Irish Medical Council, you just need to find a job; a quick Google search will reveal what's available; this will take you to one I've just completed.


If your qualifications are all Indian based, then you need to address this before you can find any job; this will take you to a website I found that seems to describe the process clearly and also has a jobs section.  Alternatively, join LinkedIn and reach out to your peers already working in Ireland and ask who has been through the process.


I hope this helps.

I am new to the forum, and thrilled at the prospect of relocating to Ireland.


As a dual citizen with Ireland and the U.S., I have never lived in Ireland before, and my family is hoping to move to the Dublin outskirts sometime later this year.


I now live in Southern California with my family. I am a lawyer with a specialty in health and tech law. I practiced as a trial lawyer (barrister) for over 40 years and my husband is a mediator and employment lawyer. What exactly will we do with our backgrounds once we come to Ireland? While we are old enough and can financially retire, we have too much expertise and energy to let it go to waste. Time will tell if we teach, write, mediate or do something entirely new....


We will be moving with our son-in-law (an economist), artist-daughter, two wee grandchildren, ages 5 and 2, and my 95 year-old mom. There will be enough to get us all to relocate and get settled to keep me busy for awhile.


Immediate needs will include the usual necessities in life. Doing an advance scouting trip in June to check out the options.  Thank you to all of you in the forum for your posts, which are helpful to us.

Hi.

My name is Tim. My wife and I live in the Hudson Valley, 90 miles north of New York City. We are retired and are considering a relocation to Ireland within the next few years. I have dual citizenship with the USA and Ireland. My ancestors were from Cork and Kerry, and I spent four months in Dublin during college, which was 50 years ago. We are planning a trip for September this year, hiking for a week in Galway and Connemara. If that comes off, we may visit Dublin and Cork to start checking out potential places to live. I'm looking forward to learning a lot here at ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ.

Thanks.

Hi Tim,


Welcome to ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ! It’s great to have you here. Your plan to relocate to Ireland sounds exciting, especially with your connection to Cork and Kerry.  Feel free to reach out to members of the Ireland forum to seek advice.


All the best

Bhavna

Hello,

I am a practicing doctor from Pakistan with experience in paediatric medicine and paediatric emergencies.

I am looking for career enhancing and relocating opportunity, to settle for good in Ireland with my family.

I have been in contact with recruiting teams and also applied individually for job posting but haven't got any helpful feedback or opportunity as yet. Still hoping to find one and learning from the expats guide too.

Hi and welcome to the Forum.


My advice would be to go back to those who interviewed you and ask for some feedback (good or bad) on why they didn't take you further into the process, and then work on those specific issues.  In addition, the Irish Health Service (HSE) have established the National Doctors Training & Planning (NDTP) organisation to help in this matter, they have issued an online guide on how to gain employment with them; this will take you straight to it, please read it all and use the wealth of information it provides to help you move on.


I hope this helps.
