Spoke to someone at the Irish embassy in the US – apparently you must be gone 90 days after your initial entry date, it’s not on a rolling e.g. 180-day period like Schengen, so it doesn’t matter if you go off someplace else for a week or two, you’re still burning days against that 90-day Irish visa. They also specifically mentioned that reentry wouldn’t be granted if you left for a day and returned after having stayed for the previous 90, so it sounds like there’s quite a bit of ambiguity in there on purpose. Plan accordingly.

Hi Veronica! Don’t worry! The best thing that you can do is keep calmed, you know more English that you say. And if you have some mistakes, who cares? They already know that English is not your mother tongue and if you are there is because of your graduate in computer science. Just be confident and patient and everything will be ok.

Hi Andrea,

Glad you’re liking Dublin! I’ve recently found a great not well known place for working called the Workbench. It’s a free coworking meant for startups opened by one of the local banks, but I’m pretty sure it’s open to everyone.

It’s in Grand Canal Square which is a nice area too: https://www.google.ie/maps/place/Bank+Of+Ireland+-+1+Grand+Canal+Square/@53.343636,-6.2413237,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x48670e9355c52117:0x73d57356d3dd923b

(I know the map says it’s closed but it’s not, it opens from 8am to 5:30pm most days, and some times later)

Hi Andrea!

Welcome to Dublin!

There are a lot of great caffes in the city center where the internet is quite descent. I’ve been testing for working some of those lately.

There’s KC Peaches on NE side of St. Stephen’s Green. It’s a good internet connection (although you need to reconnect every 30min or so). During lunch time it gets really busy and noisy.

There’s 3fe near Google. It’s probably the priciest caffe in Dublin, but the connection is good and apparently everything that you can order there to drink and eat.

Most of the Startbucks have good internet connection. Two of my favorite for working (they both are quiet almost the whole day):

(something’s wrong with gmaps links. One is rendered inline like a map and the other as link)

Note that Dublin has a ton of little hidden places like these. These are just some that I’ve tried out. If you don’t expect any calls, I suggest you try and explore a bit. It’s an incredible little city.

Enjoy!

Hi Miguel,
Actually - we are leaving for Berlin on the 30th of March and are just finishing up painting our apartment to put it on AirBnB. Its a small 1 bed in the center of Dublin - Portobello - one of the nicest places to live, alongside the canal and a 10 minute walk to the city center. We will probably be putting it up for €1,200 per month. It has a separate bedroom with a double bed, two desks, sofa, high speed wifi, UPC TV and a full kitchen (stocked with lots of spices if you like to cook ). I will be taking some photos tomorrow if you are interested let me know.
Kind Regards,
Orla

Hi Miquel,

I’m from Ireland so maybe I can help Is there anything in particular you’re looking to do while here? Dublin is probably where most of the action is, but places like Galway, Cork, Kerry, Clare are better for touristy stuff.

As you might expect, Dublin is considerably more expensive, rent is on the rise in the city so accommodation might be limited. Have you an idea of timeline? I can keep an ear out for accommodation. http://www.daft.ie/ might have some short-term 3 month rental either if that works for you!

Try contacting people on AirBnb to see if they’d be up for negotiation? I assume you’ll be in one location for perhaps a month at a time?
