This 100% I just moved from the US Mainland to Hawaii and the number of mainlanders who try to bring their ways with them to these islands is disgusting
Not unlike many other cultures that bring their 'ways' with them wherever they go. Every expat group for every country is filled with Americans bringing their culture with them, and the native people telling them to stop. I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment, but your comment will fall on deaf American ears.
For the Skilled Workers visa, it’s a lot more industries thankfully. My husband & I qualify since I’m an architect & he’s a beer brewer (manufacturing industry counts)!
Hi Leslie! Thank you so much for watching my video. So glad to hear you and your husband qualified for the critical skills visa! I love hearing success stories like yours. Did you both move from the US?
The U.S. is comparatively huge and costs such a function of where you are precisely. When we visited, coming from close-in Seattle, we were blown away by the extremely reasonable prices for everything. Pretty much fell in love over.a couple of weeks....the fact that from our perspective it was so affordable contributed.
You can get a bus from Dublin to Cork for 20 Euro /24 return , it takes just 20 mins longer than the train, 3 hours City centre to City centre .Private healthcare would cost you about 2000/2500 per year, you can reduce this by agreeing to pay excess ,the more you are willing to pay the cheaper it gets.for example if you agreed an excess of 1,000 Euro then that is the max you would pay,I myself am belong to this scheme ,four years ago I was in hospital for 3 months ,I paid 1,000 and nothing more and I was in a private suite for the entire 12 weeks. if you are working you can offset some of this to tax.
9:31 it’s free only for minimum wage earners. expats/foreign born skilled workers aren’t usually covered as they usually earn way above the minimum wage considering that they’re highly skilled. In UK, the treatment is the same for all, basic healthcare is free to all as it is funded by all taxpayers (citizens and expats).
Hi Cepee! As I've told you many times before, Ireland is the true country of my dreams (for pretty much all the reasons you listed at the very start of this vid). Unfortunately, I don't qualify for any of the visas available, which is why I'm using the Portugal D7 visa as a stepping stone to obtain EU citizenship to make the dream I've had since I was a teenager a reality. But did you hear that recently the European Commission has called for an end to the Portuguese golden visa due to the rises in housing cost because of it? I really hope the D7 visa is not under the same scrutiny, and again, that's why I'm going to attempt to make the jump quicker than I planned. I've lost out on so many opportunities before, I will not let this one slip through my hands too!
Love your content, great information! One small critique. If you wouldn’t rock back-and-forth to and from the camera, it would be much better. Thank you again very much for the useful information.. 👍😁
My wife wants to get a critical skills work visa. Is it worth the extra work to get a british passport (I am technically a citizen by descent) or should I just go on their visa. Alternatively go on their work visa and get my passport while I'm there. (The bonus would be not having to have a visa at all because of the CTA)
I view this trend of "Americans moving to Europe" quite critically. I keep seeing false ideas about life in Europe being conveyed. Our health insurance is NOT free. We also work and pay for it. In addition, these videos often feature Americans who are "just" influencers or work in some way with the media. But we in Europe need skilled workers. We also have our problems and for that we need people who will lend a hand. We need people who don't just see Europe as an "upgrade" to the US and who feel inspired and protected by our culture and social policy. But who really get involved. Unfortunately, it always leaves me with the impression that Americans no longer like their own country and just want to leave. I would like to ask the question: Why don't you fight for your own country to be better? That you have the same experience there as you hope to find in Europe? Don't get me wrong: I fully understand that you want to look for a place to live that makes you happy, where you can flourish. And that could also be Europe. I am not against emigration in principle. I could be in that situation myself. I just want to ask the critical question: Why is this trend so often portraying a distorted image of Europe? Why is there no awareness of the need to work for change in one's own country? And last but not least: What do the emigrants contribute to their new society? Sometimes I just get the impression that it's all about taking and not giving back. But we Europeans have fought hard for our high social standards and continue to do so today.
I want to move to ireland with my small family of 2. But im worried that others like me (americans) will unfortunately turn ireland into america which NOT what I want. I want to assimilate into irish culutre and be a true irish woman. I want to keep the kindness and history and traditions. I dont want ireland to be another NYC or 'Merica. I am a city person, but will totally work someones farm just to get my small family of 2 into ireland. I will scrub toilets with a toothbrush. I just want to make my.childs dream come.true. ❤❤❤
I’m going to be moving to Ireland to move in with my fiancé who is Irish and lives there and we will be getting married so the visa part isn’t what I need. I just want to know what’s the best way to get there in terms of airlines? I have a small dog and a medium service dog. I also have two totes pls my bags.
You say "to help women move abroad", what about dudes like myself trying to move out of this cess pit of a state (California)? New subscriber, always good content.
Hi Mr. Lynch! Thank you so much for your comment and kind words. While the She Hit Refresh community is geared towards women age 30+, men can definitely benefit from all the content we have out there (RUclips, website, podcast, Instagram, TikTok, etc.). I also offer 1:1 consulting. If you have any questions just let me know!
I’m not quite sure I understand the lower wages part, the wages are some of the highest in Europe. What’s out of kilter is the government has failed at building accommodations.
Would that be the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland.?? It makes a lot of difference. That said, in eithere case you will need the appropriate Visa and work permit. Both are almost impossible to get. Please explain how you achieved this.
😬 I'm 5 mos.late, but hopefully can help someone browsing comments w/this question. I'm a US citizen with Irish ancestry (Great grandparents) and a BF whose parents are both of mostly 100% Irish ancestry, I've read a lot about the country, culture, language, and moving there. The weather is something that's really attractive to me anyway. Still have seasonal changes, but not extreme like here. According to online info, winters range between 40s/30s (farenheit) and Summers 50s-upper 60s. So compared to the US, (East coast/Pennsylvania anyhow) the temps are mildly appealing. Here in PA, winters are harsh, windy and freezing, and summers are miserably humid and hot. I'd love to visit, even for a few months, but to stay, I don't think I could afford it.
General question. I'm a US citizen born and raised, but have Italian citizenship (and passport) via descent. My American wife and I eventually want the option to live and work in England/Scotland. Would it be possible for us to move to Ireland to live/work on my Italian passport, apply for Irish citizenship after 5 years of residency, and then have access to live and work in the UK? Looking for clarity on the rules post-Brexit if anyone happens to know in this senario. Thanks for reading, and nice introduction video.
You can work anywhere using any of your passports. Likewise you can have as many passports as you want as long as all of the countries offering them allow dual citizenship. Some countries don’t allow dual citizenship like Spain or Singapore. Ireland and Italy are still under EU so you can move/work in Ireland using your italian passport without the need to arrange for sponsorship/working visa. However for UK you need to have a working visa. Post Brexit, only Irish citizens can work in UK without sponsorship/visa. So you can only work in UK without visa after obtaining Irish citizenship in 5 years. I don’t know why you still need to stop over Ireland for 5 years just to obtain Irish passport for you to settle in UK. You can find a company in UK to sponsor you for skilled workers visa.
@@JanBanJoovi-ol1qv Thank you for your response, it's very much appreciated. That's great information to have and keep in mind. A work-sponsored visa would be wonderful if I can find a UK employer willing to do so - I will look into that option further. I hear they can be difficult to come by, but again I'll look into it myself. The primary reason for moving to Ireland would be for my wife. She does not have an EU passport, she's a monolingual US citizen. It's a significant hurdle for her personally to learn B1 level Italian. The length of time an Italian citizenship application by marriage takes - between learning the language to a certified level, obtaining all the documents with translations/apostilles, and the additional 3-4 year processing time - is comparable to the time it would take through Irish naturalization. So that's why I was looking into this alternative plan in the first place. I know she can legally stay with me via residency visas, but I'd prefer her to have the same freedoms as I do if I'm no longer in the picture for any unforeseen reason. I love her and want her to be covered lol. She's also self employed. All that said, we obviously know 'American English' is much different, but still easier to adapt to over time for her. And who knows, maybe we end up just staying in Ireland after all because we fall in love with it. Cheers, friend. Thanks again.
@@SheHitRefresh how's the housing opportunity for former convicts from another country there. Also how much do they help people who are disabled to work or unwilling to work, similar to how social security helps us U.S. citizens? Is it livable off that kind of income?
Thanks for trolling. It’s clear you haven’t watched this video or any of my videos or else you would have caught where I talk about needing a visa 🤷🏻♀️. Or where I talk about my book for Americans about visas for Europe 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️

It's my biggest dream!
@@anthonyvasquezactor hope it comes true one day!
Yesss! Both myself & my soon to be husband have been talking about it. 😍
We're in the middle of housing crisis so if like sleeping in the city centre in a tent come on over
I saw the new program to restore abandoned idyllic homes. I can't wait to find a place to move to. I can work remote and am in tech. 🥰
As an Irishman born and raised, please don't try to turn Ireland into what you're running from. embrace our culture, and we will embrace you
Americans think they can go anyware and work, stay... LOL there rules you know.
Why would we change it? We hate it here
This 100%
