An unpublicized change in Irish immigration rules has eliminated the ability of all but wealthy non-Europen Union citizens from retiring in the country.
Effective without notice some time in March 2015, the Ireland Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) changed the standards by which non-EU retirees are determined to be financially suitable for residency.
The new rule requires that retirees have an annual income of no less than €50,000 per person, (€100,000 for a married couple) for the remainder of their lives in Ireland, regardless of their existing cash on hand or lack of debt.
Retirees have also had their immigration status changed from Stamp 3 to Stamp 0, "a low level immigration status which is not intended to be reckonable for Long Term Residence or Citizenship. It is granted to persons who have been approved by INIS for a limited and specific stay in Ireland." according the INIS website.

Just think if America did this.
Agree US should do this it would be a giant step to help save Social Security. They come over here and collect more than I do and I worked in the US all my life.
if America did this other countries would have to be nicer to people.
Become a duel citizen if you can.
I'm surprised they were able to manage that, did they secede from the UK and their enthusiastic importation of third world Muslims? I know Scotland's citizens have vigorously protested the settlement of more Muslim immigrants/refugees.
They don't want poor people, especially not hateful, demanding, self entitled third world immigrants who refuse to assimilate.
