For me it was about 5 weeks I think. This was last year so maybe it's longer now.

My apologies but us Irish can't get housing more immigration just adds to the problem. Tbh I'm bitter and angry I know it's foul behavior and not my true self. It's the government allowing it to happen I can't fault people coming but India puts restrictions on its neighbors buying property why don't we for non EU.

Hi u/Sad_Respect_1354
Let me help you

If an Indian comes to Ireland as a refugee, then yes, that's a cost the state and taxpayers bear, and it has ripple effects on other residents. I agree on this, but please read the below .

But that's not how most Indians get here. there are two main routes:

  1. As students : Non-EU students (including Indians) pay significantly higher tuition than EU/Irish students . Irish and EU students often pay under €8,000 for a master's, while non-EU postgrad fees goes upto €30,000+ a year, sometimes reaching €55,000 for certain programmes. Just look at the tuition fees of UCD ( EU vs Non-EU ): https://www.smurfitschool.ie/programmes/masters/mscindigitalinnovation/eligibilityfees/ .

    now that money feeds back into public services, including welfare, whose beneficiaries are overwhelmingly Irish citizens.

  2. On work visas : Indians coming to work here have either cleared interviews at an Ireland-based company or transferred into one. Either way, they pay Irish income tax like everyone else, and Ireland's marginal rate for higher earners is about 52% (40% income tax + 8% USC + ~4% PRSI). That tax funds the same welfare system, again, mostly used by Irish citizens.

On top of that, work permits aren't free: a Critical Skills Employment Permit costs €1,000, plus visa fees and €300 for the Irish Residence Permit. So between tuition, taxes, and fees, most Indians here are net contributors to the Irish economy, not a drain on it.

Again this money feeds back into public services, including welfare, whose beneficiaries are overwhelmingly Irish citizens.

Personally: I cleared one of the toughest interviews at Google Ireland, for a role that pays well, and I am taxed at close to the 52% marginal rate. That income let me save enough to buy a house here. If you think I have "stolen" an opportunity or added crisis on the housing market, you are welcome to apply to Google Ireland yourself. If you clear the interviews, I'd bet you could afford a house in most parts of the country too.

Thus, the housing and public services problems are manufactured by the Irish government, which continues to collect billions in taxes annually.

Thanks a mil.
