Spain to Ireland: PPSN, payroll and housing, sequenced before arrival

PPSN, Revenue registration and Dublin's rental market depend on each other — and for non-EU/EEA employees, the permit and visa steps come first. ReloPass lays out the steps for each person’s route and nationality.

One shared case with a complete picture of both sides of the move

ReloPass builds a single case for the ES-IE move that includes Spain exit steps alongside Ireland arrival steps. HR sets the rules once. The employee follows a guided path built for this corridor. Suppliers receive tasks in the right order. Nothing is communicated twice and nothing sits in a separate spreadsheet.

Requirements surfaced before they become delays

The reviewed requirements for the ES-IE corridor bind to each case at the moment it is opened. The permit route logic, the PPSN and address dependency, the Revenue registration sequence, and the IRP registration window all appear on the timeline before the move starts - not after someone misses them. A human reviews every recommendation before it reaches the case.

Competitive supplier quotes in one view, sequenced correctly

Instead of HR separately chasing immigration counsel, temporary housing providers, and removal firms, ReloPass brings shortlisted options into the case in the right order. Temporary accommodation is sequenced ahead of the PPSN application, because the PPSN needs an address. HR sees the choices and approves the spend.

Answers grounded in your policy and cited to their source

When questions arise during the move, the employee receives answers grounded in the employer's own policy documents and in cited corridor requirements - not in a general web search. Personal data is masked before any AI call. Every decision the platform supports is logged against the case and available for audit.

Questions HR teams ask

Does ReloPass handle moves where the employee is not an EEA national?
Yes. The ES-IE corridor in ReloPass is built to distinguish between EEA and non-EEA employees. For non-EEA nationals, the case surfaces the D-visa requirement, routes the employment permit selection through the correct category logic, and includes the IRP registration sequence. The guidance an EEA-national employee receives is different from what a non-EEA employee sees.
How does ReloPass handle the accommodation and PPSN dependency specific to Dublin?
ReloPass maps this dependency explicitly in the case timeline. Because a PPSN application in Ireland requires a confirmed address, and Dublin landlords frequently require an Irish payslip before providing one, the platform flags temporary accommodation as a prerequisite and sequences it ahead of the PPSN application. HR sees the dependency before the employee travels, not after it has already created a delay.
Do we need our own immigration legal counsel to use ReloPass for an ES-IE move?
ReloPass surfaces requirements and coordinates the move. For cases that require formal legal advice on permit applications or immigration status - particularly for non-EEA nationals - counsel can be added to the case as a provider at the right stage. The platform clearly distinguishes between information grounded in reviewed requirements and regulated legal advice, and does not present one as a substitute for the other.
What does ReloPass do on the Spain exit side?
The ES-IE corridor case includes Spain exit steps alongside the Ireland arrival sequence. Municipal deregistration and tax residency update requirements appear on the case timeline so that HR has a complete view of the move from close-out in Spain through to establishment in Ireland. These steps are owned and tracked in the same case, not left to the employee to manage separately.
How do we know the corridor requirements in ReloPass are current?
Each requirement in the ReloPass corridor engine is approved by a reviewer before it is published, and is shown with a link to its official source where one is recorded. The date each one was last checked is kept on the record, so HR can trace why a particular step was included.
