Is this aimed at retirees, pensioners, financially independent people, passive-income holders or another profile?

Financially self-sufficient people of independent means who wish to retire to or live in Ireland (Stamp 0).

See recorded sources

Which types of income/assets are accepted according to the official source?

Pension income or readily accessible funds (investment sums are not normally counted), verified by an Irish-based accountant, with evidence such as six months of bank statements.

What income, savings or financial-resources threshold applies and how does family affect it where officially specified?

Individual income of €50,000 a year plus access to a lump sum for major expenses, e.g. equal to the price of a residential home in Ireland. The official source does not state how family members affect the threshold.

Limits of the record
  • Figures come from the retirement page (same Stamp 0 independent-means section); effect of family members on the threshold is not stated.

Can the holder work locally, run a business or perform other economic activity? What is the family position?

No work, business, trade or profession unless a letter from ISD allows it; no State benefits or publicly funded services; a spouse/civil partner who is also applying must submit their own application form.

Limits of the record
  • The TPER-IM form header says "live and work in Ireland as a person of independent means", which conflicts with the Stamp 0 no-work condition.

How long is the status granted, what is required for renewal, what physical-presence obligations matter, and what longer-term residence direction exists?

Stamp 0 is a temporary permission; renewal via the TPER Renewal Form on the ISD Customer Service portal, then the IRP card is renewed with the approval letter. Duration, physical-presence requirements and longer-term direction are not stated.

Limits of the record
  • Grant length, physical-presence rules and long-term direction are not stated.

These are the answers currently recorded in the catalogue. A missing or partial answer is not an eligibility decision.
