The residence routes open to Australians moving to Ireland, with income thresholds shown in AUD, costs, timelines and eligibility.
Ireland offers Australians 1 main residence route: passive income visa. The most accessible starts at roughly A$5,985/month in qualifying income.
As an Australian passport holder you can already enter Ireland visa-free for up to 90 days, so you can scout neighbourhoods, view property and open a bank account before committing to a long-stay visa.
Income thresholds on this page are converted to AUD using exchange rates as of 2026-07-31, so they track live rates rather than a fixed assumption. Moving to Ireland does not end your Australia tax filing: as an Australian citizen you remain taxed on worldwide income wherever you live.
The quickest route is typically decided in about 3 months. If you have Ireland ancestry, a descent route (grandparent born in Ireland) may let you skip the income tests altogether.
