Licensed & regulated Trust and Company Service Provider (TCSP) in Ireland. Authorised by the Department of Justice.
Ireland is a land of rich culture and stunning landscapes. If you wish to stay for an extended period without engaging in work, Stamp 0 permission is your essential path to living the Irish dream.
Stamp 0 is a unique residency permission designed specifically for individuals of independent financial means—most commonly American retirees—who wish to call Ireland home without becoming a burden on the State. Unlike work or study visas, Stamp 0 is a ‘non-economic’ permission. This means you are granted the privilege of residing in the Emerald Isle on the condition that you do not work, start a business, or claim any government benefits. It is a prestigious, renewable residency that offers a legal ‘roadmap’ for those who have spent a lifetime building their wealth and are now ready to enjoy it in a land of rich culture and safety. At Abbey Blue Legal, we specialize in ‘translating’ your U.S. financial success into the specific euro-certified formats required by the Irish Department of Justice, ensuring your application is not just a form, but a finished story of your independence.
You must have a verifiable individual income of at least €50,000 per year (or €100,000 combined for a couple).
In addition to your annual income, you must have access to a substantial lump sum of savings to cover major unforeseen expenses.
You must hold a fully comprehensive private medical insurance policy that provides full cover in private Irish hospitals.
You must sign a legal agreement stating you will not engage in any employment, business, or profession in Ireland, and you will not access any state benefits or publicly funded services
Moving across the world shouldn’t feel like a legal battle. At Abbey Blue Legal, we take the complexity out of the Stamp 0 process.
