Ireland's premium work permit for in-demand professionals. Stamp 4 (long-term residency) opens up after just two years, family can join you on day one with full spouse work rights, and the citizenship clock runs to five years total for an EU passport. SARP gives 30% tax relief on income above €100K for first 5 years.
Ireland's residency option for people who want to live there without working. €50,000+ a year in passive income (or €500,000+ savings), real on-the-ground residence, and a five-year runway to Irish citizenship in an English-speaking EU country. Combined with remittance basis tax relief, this is one of Europe's most underrated retiree options.
