I'm new to the forums and so far have received some good information which in turn has sent me trotting along to search as well as find and view the enormous wealth of information on various Irish government and support agency web sites.
With a thick head and tired eyes over the past 2-days, It's come down to trying to prioritize the order of things moving to Ireland from the UK (as UK citizens retirees over 66 yrs old)
Would appreciate if someone could please look at the steps below to see if I have them lined up correctly - if not please change the order or add anything that I have missed or comments likewise. Thanks.
1. Arrive, get temporary accommodation, stay with daughter - or we could simply hotel, B&B, guest house it.
2. Open a bank account - transfer in as well as put money in the bank account, smile at the tellers and get to know the manager.
3. Find more permanent accommodation, either a rental or buy a place to live - move in within 30 days or sooner
4. Sign up with gas, water, electricity companies once (No 3) accommodation is sorted ready to go
5. Apply for a PPS number, that done - a week later, then
6. Apply for medical card
7. Change over UK drivers licences
8. Get the travel pass
