The latest data show that over the past 12 months, Ireland's cross-border trade has continued to soar in both directions. According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (CSO), Ireland's imports from Northern Ireland increased by €413 million between January and June 2022 to €2.3 billion compared to the same period in 2021. At the same time, exports to Northern Ireland increased by €662 million to €2.4 billion during that period compared to the same period in 2021.
Ireland has always been a country that immigrants pay more attention to, especially after Brexit, multinational companies such as Facebook, Huawei, Microsoft, Apple and other multinational companies have set up European headquarters in Ireland. Economic development has always been Europe's leading, and Ireland's corporate tax rate is extremely low, only 12.5% in order to attract foreign investment. Compared to the global tax in the United States and the corporate tax in other countries that can reach more than 30% at a moment's notice, setting up a company in Ireland can save half of the tax every year.
Over the past 12 months, the number of foreign migrants (non-Irish citizens) residing in Ireland has increased from 622,700 to 644,400, representing 12.9% of the total population of Ireland. Many applicants who aspire to Ireland did not go to Ireland at the beginning, but to the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union. This is the advantage of Irish citizenship (note that this is the advantage of an Irish passport, not permanent residence). There is a saying that it is called Ireland = EU passport + British passport + US green card.
With an Irish passport, you can work, live and live in the UK. At the same time, because Ireland is also an EU country, a passport is equivalent to enjoying ALL EU benefits.
Education in Ireland is also a major advantage in attracting immigrants, and ireland has done a great job in British education. First of all, it is reflected in the subject setting of the school: traditional teaching subjects + necessary key skills = British education talents. Traditional subjects naturally refer to: English, history, mathematics, science and so on. At the same time, add a little bit of world religion, culture, geography, business, sports. Finally, cultivate your own artistic cells and learn the second outside, drama and music. On this set of "combination fists", it is difficult to become a "talent".
The setting of the Irish school year is also very similar to our own: this means that Chinese children going to Ireland to study can be seamlessly connected with the domestic school system.
Irish gaokao scores are interchangeable with UK GCSE and A-LEVEL scores. Therefore, after finishing high school in Ireland, it is possible to apply directly to a BRITISH university. At the same time, the two countries also enjoy equal discounts on tuition fees.
Of course, in addition to enjoying British education, Irish citizens can also attend scottish schools for free by virtue of their nationality status. So it's not hard to see why more and more high-net-worth families choose to settle in Ireland to live and study, and education alone is very fascinating.
The investment advantages and educational advantages of Irish immigrants are very obvious, and the asset allocation and educational reasons are also more common and common among immigration reasons, so the popularity of Irish immigrants is also expected.
