Very important tip about living for Ireland than living off ireland. Every country would love a citizen like that for sure.

[@impromptuimmigrants]

Thank you so much for watching :-)

Really enjoyed your presentation🥰. Just a heads-up, you left one beeeeeg box back in South Africa - Mom and I waited on the docks, but for some unknown reason we were not loaded. So, that's why we popped out to you the other day to catch up with our beautiful Irish family. I loved your phrase that you "are not living off Ireland, but living for Ireland." Well done my Sunshine. Oh yes, your are a family of five ...... plus a dog 🐕😉

[@MissE333]

Great round up of costs here in Ireland. I don’t know if you mentioned how you heat your home, but heating oil & gas can be an expensive but necessary cost here. While we do have a public health service (the HSE), a lot of people here also have private health insurance (often provided by an employer) as hospital waiting lists are long. If you have a long-term illness like diabetes, you can get a Long Term Illness card, which entitles you to all your medication and associated devices / products free, such as insulin, insulin pump, glucose monitoring, etc. This is not means tested. We may have a decent enough benefits system but to pay for it income taxes IMO are high. Sorry you’re paying so much in rent. It’s gotten crazy in the last couple of years because of the drop in supply. Good luck in your naturalisation process 🤞. Happy to have you here 🇮🇪

[@dianethompson2458]

Thanks so much! This was very interesting. I live in Canada and it is so much more expensive here. I pay 1400 dollars a month for a tiny one bedroom basement apartment. Food costs me about 100 dollars a week. There are literally no places to rent in this country at all. I moved into this unit in 2020. The same unit would cost 2200.00 dollars a month now. Landlords here are evicting low income people from nearly derelict buildings. They are then renovating them and charging four times the rent for the units. It is utterly disgraceful. Canada was a great place to immigrate to when my family came here in 1900. Please anyone reading this Canada is not a good place to immigrate to. I would love it if more people could come here, We need the people but life here is increasingly hard for everyone. It makes me so sad to see what my beautiful country has come to. I am so happy your family is safe and doing well in such a great country.

[@impromptuimmigrants]

Thank you so much for your comment and for watching. I've always wanted to visit Canada. Looks like such a beautiful country. Interesting to hear how the cost of living is affecting everyone, worldwide. The cities here are so expensive rental wise and there is a rental shortage here too. Makes you wonder when and if things will turn around.

[@Cathycupcake68]

If moving here do your research carefully The pros of moving to the country areas as opposed to urban areas are the rent is cheaper, school places are easier to get and the sense of community is great. Education can be expensive and all major universities are in the larger cities where student accommodations are expensive and hard to secure.The cons are the infrastructure, roads etc aren't good. You will need a car because outside of large towns and cities public transport is practically non existent and you may be quite a distance from major hospitals and medical centers and airports. Living in the larger urban towns and cities the rent is extortionate and school places are hard to secure. Diesel and petrol and heating oil and fuel are very expensive. Gp visits will cost approx € 50 to €60. I live in Donegal for example and whilst it is very scenic and idolic here we are 4.5 hrs drive from Dublin and Galway 2 hrs from belfast and the nearest large airport or specialist hospital. We have a major immigration crisis here at the minute with a huge influx of displaced people from the Syrian and Ukrainian wars. This is putting a huge pressure on rental markets and real estate as landlords are buying up property to house refugees as there is a lucrative very profitable incentive by our government to provide housing for these people. This is causing quite a bit of civil unrest in the country because a lot of people see immigration as a threat to our culture and a huge financial burden on our economy as we are a small nation of only approx 5 million people. As I say do your own research well before considering a long term move here it's not all leprechauns and romance as portrayed but good luck with whatever decisions you make.

This is definitely a lot more affordable than where we live in Australia! Thanks for sharing all of this as I believe this would be similar to our possible living expenses. Although we have two border collie dogs, renting with pets over there seems like a very confusing process of if and how.

[@impromptuimmigrants]

Renting with pets is not impossible. Sometimes landlords will ask extra deposit 'just in case'. Often a cover letter and a family CV helps to let landlords know that their property will be looked after. Thanks so much for your comment.

[@mpat100]

1800 euros is very high for Dungarvan, that is what you might pay in a large urban town close to Dublin or Cork but not Dungarvan. Keep an eye out in local supermarket notice boards for lettings, you might get somewhere cheaper or even Daft you might get one 3 bed place that is 1800 and another week a similar place for 1300 or 1400 euros.

Thanks - good info. I have been in Dublin for a month now. Rents here are double what you quoted for Dunvegan. And getting an apartment is so difficult. I was so lucky to get a fab apartment right on the seafront but only because I had a relocation agent looking for me. All other costs are very similar or cheaper than South Africa. Here you pay for what you need. No security companies, car guards etc I take public transport to work and that is capped at 2 euros a trip within 90 minutes so that is an affordable alternative to owning a car. Look forward to more videos!

Thank you gor this video To find a place to rent in Ireland is very complicated and very expensive A lot of persons are sharing apartments like in Cork and it can be cheaper (minimum 650/750euros with sometimes electricity and wifi included) Electricity/gas are more expensive but you will see that and my advise would be to pay monthly.... The price of food is expensive too and meat products have seen their price growing very fast and also dairy products If I have advises it would be to make your own cooking as prepared food/prepared meals/take away can hurt very badly the budget and to compare always electricity/gas/mobile WiFi bills. And if you have a garden.... start to grow your own vegetables 😉

Great videos! Unfortunately I could not move over to Ireland even with a good paying job in hand due to lack of proper housing for a family in and around Dublin :( The rents are way over 2000EUR/month for a family there, quality varies a lot, and you have to pay huge amounts upfront. And even with that, you can't find an apartment to rent, even with the help of the company (well, in a reasonable time at least). We regretted it very much, everything had to be cancelled :(

[@impromptuimmigrants]

Rent is so expensive in Dublin. Would commuting be an option as it's not as pricey on the outskirts. Sorry everything was cancelled. It is very hard finding a rental at the moment, hopefully things will get better over time.

Hi, thank you. I am surprised that at the beginning you mention 1800 Euro rent per month for a 3 bedroom in Dungarvan, but at the summary at the end, you only write 1000 Euro. Do you pay only 1000 Euro? For what kind of house? Thank you!

[@impromptuimmigrants]

Hi, thank you for your comment. Yes, we pay €1000 for rent. It's a semidetached house. The houses in the area do go for more rental wise and we were very lucky to find this one. I mentioned the higher priced rentals so as not to disillusion anyone as far as rental prices as it's not often you find one for €1000 or less.

[@impromptuimmigrants]

We used a company called seven seas. You tell them how much you are sending and they will either supply the boxes or the dimensions for a crate and then you pack it when they arrive to pick it up so you have to be quite organised and ready for their arrival. In our case we just needed boxes and they delivered them and then picked them up again. It took about 6 weeks in total to get them to Ireland. We had to pay in South Africa for the service and then again once they cleared Dublin (import tax). We were very happy with their service and all our belongings arrived safely.

[@impromptuimmigrants]

That depends on a lot of variables to be honest. 45k is (according to google) the average salary here in Ireland so in my opinion you should be able to live off that reasonably well. Saving would all depend on what kind of life style you choose to live. Eating out is very expensive.

[@Jim54_]

Current Inflation is being driven up mostly by fuel prices, If we switch to Nuclear power and give greater incentives to buy electric cars (including subsidising and prioritising lithium battery production) this problem will subside substantially over time. Also, many countries are going for the practical short term measures of taxing fossil fuel company profits to discourage extortionate profiteering.. Overall though, Society’s rejection of Nuclear power was a massive mistake, and the environment has payed dearly for it as we continue to rely on fossil fuels for our electricity.

How much does it cost paying rent for a furnished room

[@impromptuimmigrants]

It all depends in where you are looking to live. Costs vary greatly throughout the country.

Hi, thank you for your comment. To tell you the truth, I hardly looked at the money picture, it was more just for illustration, but thank you for pointing that out.

Is $1500 USD a month enough for one person.

[@impromptuimmigrants]

That is quite difficult to answer as everyone has different levels of spending and living. Considering rent in the city can range between €1000 - €2000 for a one bedroom I would say you would need at least €2500 - €3000 a month to live comfortably. In the country it would be lower.

As an Irish person who moved away from that dump years ago, I really don't know why anyone would want to live there unless they don't want to work and just receive freebies from the government. They're the only people who get looked after in Ireland.

[@impromptuimmigrants]

Hi Eddy, I guess everyone has their own personal experiences of Ireland and I'm sorry that yours wasn't a good one.

[@HomeWorkouts_LS]

So where’d you move to? It’s technically one of the best countries to live in…

[@michellemorrison9663]

I moved from a third world country to the US, so far, the US is the worst of both. Looking around for options and Ireland doesn’t sound as bad as this capitalistic dump we live in. But like the comment above, every one has their own opinions and experiences of the places they live in

[@derekdempsey8506]

Ah would ya stop Eddie I havnt travelled that much but realy love home lovely woodland walk by thee liffey this morning and a enjoyable week in Kerry last week

[@xragdoll5662]

I agree, literally only immigrants think it’s great and they all wanna move over even though more immigrants have houses than people born in Ireland. My Irish friends are literally homeless because the immigrants keep coming over 🙄
