Ireland Persons of Independent Financial Means

People with independent financial means who don’t need to work can apply to live in Ireland.
This applies to people who want to emigrate or retire to Ireland or take some time off work to stay in Ireland indefinitely.

There aren’t different types of visas for people of independent financial means.
There is only one option; they can apply for a Stamp 0.
