What Mobility Assets are available to me in Ireland?
Ireland offers three different Mobility Assets: Citizenship by Descent, Digital Nomad Visa, and Independent Means Visa.
Do I need to speak Irish to apply for residency or citizenship in Ireland?
No, you don’t need to speak Irish to apply for any of the Mobility Assets available in Ireland. English is widely spoken and used for official purposes.
Can my family members apply for residency or citizenship in Ireland with me?
Yes, in most cases, your spouse and dependent children can be included in your application, but be sure to check the specific requirements provided in your Explorer Kit before you proceed.

Can I keep my own citizenship?
