In a recent episode of the Expattaxes.ie Podcast: Taxbytes for Expats, our Project Leader Sarah Owen joined host Stephanie Wickham to discuss the realities of Irish emigration, return migration and the support available to Irish citizens and their families through Crosscare Irish Diaspora Support Project.

Every year, we support people who are planning a move abroad, considering a return to Ireland, or facing difficult circumstances that require additional support. While many people look forward to coming home, the reality is that returning to Ireland can be more complex than expected.

⚠️ **Important update for anyone returning to Ireland with a non-EU/EEA family** ⚠️

The Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration have just announced an increase in the financial threshold for Irish citizens to sponsor their non EU/EEA family members.

Irish citizens returning to Ireland with a de facto partner or spouse who is a non-EEA citizen, must now have a gross income [pre-tax] of at least €75,000 over the last three years (approximately €25,000 per year over three years). These changes take effect from 12 June 2026.

We are disappointed to see the introduction of yet another measure that will make it harder for Irish citizens abroad to come home to Ireland.

Crosscare Irish Diaspora Support Project, Safe Home Ireland and the Irish Council for Prisoners Overseas, have expressed serious concern over the Housing and Residential Tenancies (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2026, warning that it could create significant barriers for Irish citizens returning home from abroad who need access to social housing and homelessness services.

Our key concern is the proposed inclusion of Habitual Residence criteria for accessing social housing supports in Ireland. This change could prevent some of the most vulnerable returnees from accessing emergency accommodation and other essential housing services when they need them most.

Moving country is one of life’s biggest adventures, but if you’re doing it with small children in tow, it can also be one of the most emotionally complex. Between packing boxes, visa paperwork, and finding a new school, there’s one thing that often gets pushed down the to-do list: helping your little ones actually feel okay about it all.

We're pleased to feature a special blog post from Laura, founder of Laz & Lucky - a children’s YouTube channel rooted in Irish culture, folklore, and identity!

Whether your family is currently living abroad, planning a big move, or navigating the bittersweet journey of returning home, Laura made Laz & Lucky for children like yours.
