Moving Abroad by Niall Foley is an essential guide for those considering avoiding the humdrum of Irish life; the incessant talk on mortgages, taxes, and the ever-increasing unemployment figures. The dream of moving to sunnier climates can be enough of an incentive; however, there are numerous decisions and red tape to deal with before packing your bags.
As a small island nation, emigration has always been a part of the Irish experience. Although Ireland has seen net inward migration in recent years, we are now once again considering moving abroad to find work or improve their quality of life. This book is ideal for those who are finding themselves squeezed out of the Irish job market, who want to retire to somewhere with a sunny climate, or who just have itchy feet and want to live and work in another country.
Dealing with questions such as the cost of living in a given country, the chances of finding employment, the normal working routine, education, climate and even tips on talking to other ex-pats in the area to find out their opinions of life in the country, Moving Abroad is a vital guide to emigration. Niall Foley takes the hassle out of relocating by providing practical advice on every step of the process, from the initial research right through to finding a new home and moving your possessions abroad.
Moving Abroad also includes: Tips on researching and choosing destinations; Advice on how to cope with culture shock and language barriers; and the latest information on visa applications. All the popular destinations for Irish people are dealt with in detail, eg UK, US, Australia, New Zealand, UAE, with shorter sections on areas of the world with growing popularity such as Eastern Europe.
