What we're cooking up for you
Our work never stops. We're closing deals and building new tools behind the scenes to bring even more value to our community.

PPS Number Essential
- What it is: Your tax number to work and pay social contributions.
- Golden Rule: You can only apply in person after arriving in Ireland.
- Proof of Address: The biggest hurdle. Use a utility bill or a letter from your employer. Book your appointment at MyWelfare.ie.
Revenue & Tax Critical
- Emergency Tax: Avoid being taxed at 40%. Register your first job on the Revenue portal as soon as you start.
- MyAccount: Create your online account as soon as you have your PPSN to manage your tax credits and avoid unnecessary deductions.
Accommodation Challenge
- Sites: Daft.ie is the go-to. Rent.ie is secondary.
- Applicant Kit: Have a PDF ready with your passport, references and employment letter. Speed is everything.
- Scam Alert: Never pay without viewing the property and testing the key. If the landlord is "abroad", it's a scam.
Transport
- Leap Card: The rechargeable green card that saves you 30% on buses, Luas and DART. Essential from day one.
- Apps: Use "TFI Live" for real-time schedules. Google Maps is unreliable in Dublin.
- Cash: Buses only accept exact change and give no change back.
Communications
- Irish Number: Essential for recruiters to reach you. Buy a prepaid SIM at any supermarket when you arrive.
- Budget Networks: GoMo, 48.ie or Tesco Mobile offer unlimited data for around €15/month.
