Am I eligible to start a ltd contracting company

ash1511 · 2016-03-08 13:53:55

So this is a continuation of this thread. I want to know whether I am eligible to start a ltd company on my name? I'm neither an Irish citizen nor an EU citizen and I'm in Ireland on stamp 4. Appreciate any suggestions.

as far as I understand it no, you have to be either Irish or from the EEA. I had to check this for a US citizen last week. However the person who I asked did say they were not sure how it was enforced......

I thought the requirement was for one of the Directors to be resident in the state.
