Your older kids may want to come back to Ireland for university.Schools - how do kids adjust to a US school curriculum and then readjust coming back.
I think, seeing the cost of tertiary education in the US, we would very much like to do this. i.e. have kids go to college in Ireland.Your older kids may want to come back to Ireland for university.
From memory you have to be EEA-resident for three years before you qualify for "free" fees in Ireland. Otherwise you pay the non-EU rate which is generally much higher.
People often go to the US, CH, Australia for a "few years" which turns into longer and often get stung by this when the kids want to come back to Ireland to study.
It is more complicated than I remembered even.So if we leave for 2 years and return, sounds like we are fine?
She may be able to make voluntary PRSI contributions when in the US. These may be worth it to keep up state pension eligibility.Wife's salary = 82k (public sector). Her qualifications would not be
I have no expertise, but I guess the rules around tax residence and pension contributions will get complicated. Your situation shouldn't be super unusual and it's probably worth paying for professional advice.My pension is worth ~650k.
Thanks No Regrets, that's actually quite reassuring as even if we managed to miss on the criteria of 'Have your parent/s been resident as tax-payer(s) in the EU/EEA/ Swiss Confederation/UK for at least 3 of the 5 years prior to starting a programme?',
Could you not go and negotiate flights home event 6 weeks say?? Flights for wife and kids over for the summer etc your wife goes on SWYS for the summer.
Kids stay in school, less upheaval for them. You are proposing moving them to schools. They need to settle and then you are moving them back again and they need to settle back into school here again. I wouldnt do that to my kids personally.
I would consider turning down the role for the above reasons. I guess only you can decide on the priority of your job and the upheavel to your kids and wife compared to your current job. You are in a good position, I would go on my.own for a few years with a sweeter of flights requested when negotiating with your boss.
[broken link removed]The requirement to return taxes to Revenue for 3 years. Does this always happen? I mean, what about people leaving permanently, say I want to move to Belize.
I know several spouses (including husbands) who have given up their job temporarily to move abroad for their spouse's work.there is no way I would ask my partner to, effectively, become a lone parent for two, or more, years.
It's not uncommon, I know plenty of families who have done this. Some more than once!I think kids growing up today have an awful hard job compared into me and I'm not that old!!!!
At those ages, they probably have a lot of life friends and are coming into those years that really cement those friendships. Taking them away from that and moving to America would be fine (in my opinion snd smthg I'd consider myself) if I was going to America to live long term. The fact that it's two or three years and then everyone moving back to Ireland again. That's a totally different proposition I think anyway.
You have to ask is your wife happy to give up or take time out of her career?
Is there grandparents still around and if so, they won't see the kids very often for the next few years.
Financially, you are down 33% ISH increase with your wife not working, dies that have any impact on you financially or is it negated by a salary increase?
Just about to do Junior Cert i.e. in 3rd yearIt depends where in the senior cycle your eldest is? If (say) they would be starting 5th year in Sept 22, it might be worth considering boarding school in Ireland, if they were happy with that of course.
I think you may have misunderstood my post.I know several spouses (including husbands) who have given up their job temporarily to move abroad for their spouse's work.
All of them have made a joint decision with their spouse, and most have really enjoyed it!
Boston is not the cultural equivalent of outer space, and is a direct flight home in an emergency.
Hm..so next year could be treated as transition year (i.e. Boston) & then 5th / 6th year boarding to get into Uni here - will that cover the residency requirement though?Just about to do Junior Cert i.e. in 3rd year
You need to read the link posted - the residency requirement is moot as they're EU citizens and will all have completed 5 years of education here.Hm..so next year could be treated as transition year (i.e. Boston) & then 5th / 6th year boarding to get into Uni here - will that cover the residency requirement though?
