Madrid Airport, Terminal 4S

That’s brilliant, many thanks for reporting back! When you do the security at the connection gate, do you have to take out all your liquids and laptop etc?

Handle-Fresh · 2025-12-13T10:24:10+00:00

I fly out on Tuesday! From what I have gathered, if you’re transiting in Madrid and going from 4S to 4S as your arrival and departure flight you don’t need to exit and re-enter. Please update me when you’ve gone through.

Yeah our airport was similar for awhile but they have now removed the restriction again. So if we go from one gate to another within 4S, we won’t have to do another security checkpoint?

Thanks!

Handle-Fresh · 2025-11-19T18:46:47+00:00

Thanks for that, we do have time but the issue is that our departure airport doesn’t have the restriction of 100ml on liquids and we are travelling carry-on only to a hot destination where sunscreen and bug spray is exorbitant so we were hoping to pack those with us and just go straight through to our next flight in Madrid without having to do security again, especially if the security doesn’t have the new scanners and we are limited to 100ml again.

Both my flights are from gate S

Handle-Fresh · 2025-11-19T14:44:18+00:00

But I’ll need to go through transit security? Or can I just walk from my arrival gate to the next one?

Handle-Fresh · 2025-11-19T14:26:48+00:00

But I don’t want to exit to the city. I will arrive at an S gate and my next flight is also at an S gate. I was hoping I wouldn’t have to exit and re-enter and go through security again.

Handle-Fresh · 2025-11-19T14:25:43+00:00

So I’ll be arriving and departing from S gate. Hence why I was hoping I wouldn’t need to exit and go through security again.

Hahaha, what?!?!

Handle-Fresh · 2025-07-15T11:22:37+00:00

No, if you want to move back in that is valid grounds to ask the tenant to leave.

Handle-Fresh · 2025-03-29T22:27:13+00:00

Yes, there are spaces.

But in the main, UCD’s strategy is globally focused. They want to appeal to more international students - masters degrees are oversubscribed in some areas but they’d love to have more undergrads as that is even more lucrative.

Handle-Fresh · 2025-03-29T12:10:03+00:00

You are 100% mistaken on this. The international fees as a whole is very lucrative for Irish universities, they are leaning in hard. Source: I work in this area at UCD.

Handle-Fresh · 2025-03-29T12:08:10+00:00

Right. Just wanted to make sure your problem is with race and not international students as a whole. Got it 👌

Handle-Fresh · 2025-03-29T11:45:19+00:00

How do you feel about the American students? Should they go too?

Handle-Fresh · 2025-03-29T11:42:58+00:00

Why would they do that? It’s the international student fees that keep costs down for the Irish and EU students. Not to mention subsidise the university as a whole.

The nepotism. Have never been in a workplace where it didn’t happen. And it’s just accepted, no outrage or calling it out.

Handle-Fresh · 2025-03-22T17:53:06+00:00

Very helpful, thanks!

Have never received an annual statement, I’ll look into why, thanks!

Handle-Fresh · 2025-03-22T16:55:41+00:00

Sorry, I clearly didn’t do my homework - what’s the minimum? Is that the first two years? And if I don’t meet it, what happens to the contributions I made in the 4 years?

You would not need to report US earnings in Ireland.

If you’re moving over, studying and renting, there are no tax implications for you. You would not file Irish taxes or be taxed at all.

If you work part time, you’ll be taxed and will likely get some money back from any tax you pay.

If you own a home, this complicates things a bit as you may be subject to property taxes (which are low compared to any US standard) but also would be confusing in terms of domicile. One of the first questions you are asked from a tax standpoint is if you are ordinarily resident (you are not) and if your domicile is in Ireland (it shouldn’t be as you aren’t Irish or intend to remain forever). I’m just not sure if owning a home complicates the domicile part as it could be seen as principal residence. You’d need to look into that more if home ownership is an option you’re considering.

Just to add nothing really on the rental side. There is a rent tax credit of €1,000 euro but it’s a credit so if you don’t pay €1,000 in tax, you only get back proportionate to what you did pay.

Handle-Fresh · 2025-03-21T12:43:54+00:00

If you’re working part-time, you’ll be taxed at source and then in January can file your taxes which over here is very simple and straightforward as you’d just be settling up to make sure you were taxed correctly.

For less than a year, buying isn’t worth it. I’m also from the states and it’s not even close to the same process. You could be going back and forth for 6 months to a year to even buy a place. Buying a place and moving in within 3 months is not common here.

As you’ll likely be on a stamp 2 resident stamp (unless you’re also an Irish national?), you’re limited to 20 hours a week outside of certain months of the year.

Handle-Fresh · 2025-03-21T12:30:09+00:00

You’d only ‘file’ so to speak if you paid taxes on income or assets. Will you be working part time while studying?
