2. Life advantages of immigrating to Ireland

Breathe fresh air.

Ireland's air quality has ranked first in the world for many years, because the economic development here is dominated by high-tech industries, and heavily polluting enterprises are extinct here. Blue sky, white clouds and greenery accompany Ireland every day, making it the fourth most livable country in the world.

Free education and world-class English education.

It took 300,000 to 400,000 years for China to squeeze into international schools, and compulsory education was free before Irish universities. Moreover, Ireland is an English-speaking country in Europe except Britain, and English education now ranks first in Europe, surpassing Britain.

After immigrating to Ireland, your children have obvious advantages in applying for the world. Not only can you apply to the top universities in the two countries more easily than foreign students in Britain and Ireland (Trinity University in Ireland is as famous as Oxford and Cambridge in Britain), but you can also go back to China as an overseas Chinese to take the "Joint Examination for Overseas Chinese, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan", and get a lower score in Peking University Tsinghua, a popular major in China, than the equivalent candidates in China, which will definitely solve your worries about children's education.

You don't need to go to immigration prison

Unlike traditional countries such as Britain, America, Australia and Canada, Ireland does not need to go to immigration prisons. You only need to enter Ireland one day a year to get a green card. Tolerance in Ireland is also a major factor.

There is no need to pay more taxes.

Ireland is a "low tax country" in the world. Ireland's corporate tax is only 12.5%, which can be described as "cabbage price". In addition, there is an agreement between Ireland and China to avoid double taxation. After immigrating to Ireland, you don't have to pay taxes twice in two countries like the United States, which will reduce the tax burden for your family.

It can not only benefit from the EU, but also benefit from the UK.

Ireland is not only a country in the European Union, enjoying various preferential policies of the European Union, but also has a very close relationship with Britain due to brotherly friendship, and has signed a bilateral reciprocal agreement. Even if Britain leaves the European Union one day, Britain will still take good care of Ireland. After immigrating to Ireland, the whole family can work and live freely in Britain or other EU countries.

Being in Ireland with world-renowned enterprises.

At present, Ireland's economy is developing in the EU, and its entrepreneurial convenience, investor protection, business maturity and R&D investment competitiveness are the first in the EU. Many world-renowned enterprises set up EU headquarters here, which not only means that Ireland's economic development takes a high-tech development route.

Don't worry about old-age care and medical care

Life is short. If you work hard to earn money to support your family, you may get sick, and there is not much left. In Ireland, not only is medical care free, but the Irish national medical service is one of the best public medical systems in the world. In Dublin, there are many well-known research and teaching hospitals, all of which can provide high-quality and diversified medical services. Not only that, Ireland also has an excellent pension system, and can enjoy many services provided by the state welfare in his later years, including medical care, hospital care, home care and other rehabilitation and community services.
