Weź ze sobą, jakieś drobiazgi, które lubisz (zdjęcia, maskotki) one pozwolą poczuć ci się, jak w domu. Teraz czas na poznanie najbliższej okolicy, go on a walk, explore the town, in which you live. You'll see right away, you will feel better. Getting to know new places and people is always inspiring. Another important task, waiting for you is getting a PPS number, which is the equivalent of our tax identification number. Do not worry, how to do it, the family with whom you work and the agency will help you, who hired you. You will receive a number from the Social Welfare Office, you will need a passport or ID card. The card with the PPS number will come by post, this usually takes about two weeks. You can open a bank account with this number. And that's the end of bureaucracy. Sounds unbelievable? Now it remains for you to enjoy your work, meet new people, culture and a beautiful country, which is Ireland.
