Important notes
Ireland’s official retire-to-Ireland page says applicants must be financially independent, meet all conditions, and provide independent verification of financial conditions certified by an Irish accountancy firm.
Visa-required nationals apply for D Reside before arrival, and all applicants apply for Stamp 0 before arrival.
Official page requires financial independence; exact amounts should be taken from current Irish guidance/checklist if displayed for applicant type.
Stamp 0 does not generally permit employment or business activity.
