Relocation to Ireland
Ireland’s First and Best Known Destination Services Provider
Ireland is a well-loved destination, known for its green hills, country villages, cosmopolitan cities, and friendly locals. With industries like fintech, energy, and pharmaceuticals calling it home, it’s also a global mobility hub. Expatriates from the US and Canada, Asia, and even other countries in Europe may be familiar only with the country’s famous tourist reputation. There’s much more to learn. To get to know the real Ireland, your employees need access to experts who live in its cities and can walk them through its competitive rental market, essential registration requirements, and ever-evolving immigration laws.
Dwellworks has more than 20 years of experience in Ireland, with 20+ Destination Consultants in cities like Dublin, Limerick, Galway, and Cork who know how to prioritize the essential requirements for moving here – from our specialized home and school searches, to work permit and immigration resources, to setting up crucial registrations like an IRP certificate and PPS number. Read this linked article to see just how essential our services are to new arrivals unfamiliar with relocating to Ireland.
Area Orientation: Every employee wants to know more about the place they are moving to, whether it’s previewing neighborhood rental options, calculating commute times, or understanding the available community activities and hot spots. Our Destination Consultants always start the service experience with “How can I help?” and then put their local expertise to work with information, exploration, and guidance that aligns with your employee’s priorities.
Rental Home Finding Assistance: Our Consultants are experts in matching property solutions to employee budgets, requirements, and expectations, and are also a resource for understanding local leasing practices and landlord processes. After sourcing suitable housing, scheduling viewing appointments, and discussing the advantages and disadvantages of possible options, our Consultants help employees submit rental applications to give them the best chance of being selected as the preferred tenant.
Settling-in Services: Our Destination Consultants guide the employee through the full settling-in process, including support with key services like social insurance registration, banking services introductions, driver’s license application, and health care guidance. If the family has children, we also assist with school explanations, registration, and tours.
Departure services: Clients authorize this service when they are looking for end-of-assignment support for their employees. Our Destination Consultants advise on rental property termination, final property inspections, and the steps employees should follow to ensure a successful refund of their security deposit.
We check-in with the employee throughout their destination services experience via system-generated Pulse Checks to ensure we are meeting their expectations – and can quickly course-correct if needed. It is important to us that we provide exceptional service at all times. Visit our Destination Services page to learn about our end-to-end solutions and support.

We are proud to earn the respect and admiration of the employees we assist. Here is some of our favourite feedback received from satisfied employees:
Our Local Experts Cover All of Ireland
Dwellworks pairs each relocating employee with an empathetic and experienced Destination Consultant who lives in or near the employee’s new city and knows everything there is to know about that destination location – or knows where to find the answer. Our local experts are also well-versed in the nuances of the relocation process; many of them have been through the moving experience themselves.
Using our online service platform called myDwellworks®, our local Consultant connects with the employee long before their arrival in Ireland to establish a relationship, understand the employee’s priorities, and begin conducting personalized research. Consultants are familiar with neighborhood differences, school district boundaries, and the local cost of living to aid your employees in securing a rental home that meets their needs.

Consultants are also the go-to for any other assistance or recommendations needed by your employees. Whether it’s identifying the closest bank, understanding the healthcare system, finding a market for fresh produce, or getting recommendations for nearby restaurants, parks, or recreational sports teams, Dwellworks Destination Consultants will have the answer.
With Consultants in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Waterford, and all of the cities that relocating employees want to live, we cover all major corporate hub locations. We can also assist in less traditional relocation markets. With knowledge of local laws, schools, and housing prices covering every province, Dwellworks virtual Consultants can assist with moves to any location in Ireland.
So, whether the move is near the Atlantic Ocean or in the countryside, our Consultants can provide area overviews and introductions, assist in the housing search, coordinate settling-in services, and offer access to other helpful guides through our myDwellworks® platform – with the continued guarantee of that personal touch.

Finding the Best Housing Fit – Meet Our Housing Desk Team
The housing market in Ireland is competitive – with limited new construction and more companies moving their employees here every day. Your expatriates need a locally based, dependable partner to search for comfortable and reasonably priced housing that meets their needs in a challenging market. Dwellworks is the only housing search resource of its kind in Ireland with our Housing Desk Team.
The sole job of our Housing Desk is to stay in touch with listing agents around the country to know the minute a new property comes online. This means our team has close relationships with hundreds of agents across the country – relationships they’ve fostered for years as the country’s most trustworthy experts on relocation.
When a new listing becomes available, the Housing Desk team alerts our network of Destination Consultants who are looking for the best housing matches for their incoming global assignees. Our Consultants also consult the Housing Desk Team when they’ve been given specific or unique housing requirements and need to find a home that meets the employee’s challenging expectations.
School Searches Made Easy- How We Help With One of the Most Important Needs of a Family’s Move
For expatriates moving with children, picking a preferred school is the highest priority because the school choice determines what part of town they will live in. Knowing the right questions to ask about schools is a critical need for relocating families, and Dwellworks Destination Consultants explain in detail how local catchments for the state schools in Ireland work and the rules and regulations for how school assignments are made. Once a family has clarity on the school their children are likely to attend, the Consultant can then source nearby housing options. We always recommend that school search and home search happen at the same time.
Our Destination Consultants provide expert advice to inbound families. Our support includes setting up school tours and introductions and going to appointments right alongside the relocating employee and their family. Our Consultants know the reputation and performance of every primary and secondary school in their local area. The schools in turn understand what the expectations and questions that a visit coordinated through Dwellworks Destination Services will entail. Our Consultant ensures every parent understands how the state school system works, so they can provide the best possible coordination between school and rental home search.
