Ireland Offers Generous Grants for Relocation to Rural Areas and Islands

Originally Published 2 years ago — by My Modern Met

The Irish government is offering grants worth up to $92,000 for people to relocate to its remote islands and renovate old, derelict buildings. The initiative is part of a 10-year national policy called Our Living Islands, which aims to revitalize about 30 remote islands off the country's coast and make them sustainable, vibrant communities. The grant recipients are expected to either become permanent residents of the island or rent the renovated house out. There are no residency requirements for purchasing properties in Ireland, meaning anyone from a different country can apply for this grant.

Ireland offers $92k to relocate to remote islands.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Business Insider

Ireland is offering cash grants of up to $92,000 to people who want to move to approximately 30 remote islands off its western coast. To receive the funds, people must buy property on one of the islands built before 1993 that has been vacant for at least two years. The goal is to refurbish vacant or derelict buildings on islands into long-term homes as part of a broader initiative to revitalize life and the community on the islands, and increase the population. However, the money can only be used for redecoration, installing insulation, and structural improvements.
