Why move to Ireland from the UK?

Why do so many Brits move to Ireland?

If you’re considering a fresh start, Ireland ticks all the right boxes. With no need for a visa or residence permit, British citizens can live, work and retire in Ireland hassle-free under the Common Travel Area agreement. It’s one of the last remaining routes for relocation without EU immigration barriers – a major benefit after Brexit.

Ireland shares deep cultural, social and historical ties with the UK, making it an easy transition for English speakers. There are strong employment opportunities in tech, healthcare, construction and finance, especially in cities like Dublin, Limerick, Cork and Galway.

Housing is generally more affordable in rural towns and smaller cities. For families, Ireland offers a great education system and a high quality of life – rated among the best in Europe. Nature lovers will enjoy the scenic coastlines, green countryside, and outdoor lifestyle.

Common reasons UK residents move to Ireland include:

  • Lower property prices (outside of Dublin)

  • Safer communities with a strong sense of local identity

  • Career progression with global firms based in Ireland

  • Tax benefits for certain expats and retirees

  • Access to public healthcare under the HSE

So, whether you’re relocating for work, lifestyle, or to be closer to family, Ireland remains one of the most accessible and attractive countries for UK movers.
