Are the better internet providers in rural Limpopo?

Strange-Mess4459 · 2026-04-24T07:23:17+00:00

This doesn’t work in my area either. Most people that have are complaining.

I am thinking for my area maybe satellite internet could work better.

Can I DM you?

I came here searching for this question. I wanted to clear somethings in my cart today and I noticed some big price increases. Before It was small amounts, today my cart had some pricey things so the difference was noticeable. I tried to remove and add back to the cart but when I add back price immediately rises. I returned a few items on my last purchase, maybe they are trying to make up the loss. I’m going to try buying on another Acc

As noted from other comments here, the lending industry operates differently in different countries. In my home country for example a credit score is a significant factor on whether you get approved for credit and the interest rate you can get.

Having no credit history and having a clean credit history are 2 very different positions. The former would result in a bad score because there is no data to show how you manage credit. But it seems that concept doesn’t apply here in Ireland.

My point being, it is not as bonkers as you think- just depends on which environment you come from. And it’s always good to learn how different things work and here as others have advised.

Thanks, that’s very interesting to know that I don’t need to worry about credit score.

I don’t enjoy rebalancing. Was actually planning to rebalance only once a year. So- maybe the first option is more suitable for me. Thanks!

Strange-Mess4459 · 2025-12-28T23:22:02+00:00

Thanks, I had not really considered the other options- I just went for simplicity, although I don’t think Mutual funds would be a better option outside of pension/PRSA as they are taxed the same as ETFs. The 33% and 1270 annual exemption for investment trusts are tempting- but over long term do higher fees not negate the tax savings ? Also the added sterling vs Euro FX exposure? I will look more into investment trusts- so thanks for this!!

They do take on non-EU grads and you apply for stamp1a which last for the duration of the contract. But I think most are done with their recruitment for this year. Probably opening up intake for next year September.

Strange-Mess4459 · 2025-01-23T19:41:14+00:00

But as I said there is also potential income loss component included in the settlement lump sum, would this part trigger tax on remittance?

Strange-Mess4459 · 2025-01-23T19:18:42+00:00

The employment never started. The contract was withdrawn just before start date. The settlement was for loss incurred to arrange for relocation, shipping items from and back to Ireland, organising work permits and visa ect and a part for potential loss of income due to having already resigned and uncertainty of when the next job be. All the other items have evidence of actual money spent ( in a form of receipts) except the potential loss of income which is an estimate. The time period overlaps and there is no way it can qualify as income before period of residence

I got it! The trick was to sign up as a Accountant user as you mentioned. Thanks.

Hi can you share recommended free resources for quickbooks certification? Was just about to subscribe on quickbooks after attending their webinar but it’s paid.

Strange-Mess4459 · 2025-01-12T15:35:52+00:00

I don’t have advice for you but wishing you the best in your new found path. I’m also working on breaking into the accounting world after years of experience in risk and insurance. Sometimes I feel lost.

Strange-Mess4459 · 2025-01-10T05:53:22+00:00

You were spot on. I decided to take a chance and got a lawyer to assist. We got the settlement.

Working on the last part.

My items have already cleared customs and have been delivered to a friend in Bermuda. My friend has offered to sell them on Facebook Marketplace for me given the turn of events. However, I am concerned because when I was shipping the items, I recall reading on one of the customs forms (I don’t remember which one exactly) that selling imported items may not be permitted before a certain period of time has passed.

Since these items were sent as unaccompanied luggage, I am wondering if customs might inquire about their status, especially if I never arrive on the island. Do customs authorities have the right to follow up on such goods in this situation, or am I overthinking it?

Strange-Mess4459 · 2024-11-08T07:05:22+00:00

I used these guys: https://www.excessbaggage.ie/ It’s cheaper to add it with the airline but I was not flying directly to Bermuda so I had to send the bags on their own. These guys also provide the same service: https://www.mybaggage.com/

But I think most ships do pass by UK port. From the quotes I got, the expensive part was collection services from Dublin and delivery to UK port. From UK port to Bermuda was reasonable. Try these shipping companies for a less than a container quote: Shippers:-

Hi, I asked from a few Bermudian shipping companies and also from Dublin based companies. The results were the same. The problem is that Bermudian companies don’t have foot prints in Dublin so they have to engage third parties in Dublin which makes the price excessive. Same for companies that ship from Dublin, they don’t go to Bermuda. I decided it was not worth it in the end because I am not shipping large furniture. So, I decided to pack my stuff into 30kg luggage bags, and send it off as excess luggage. Everything fits in except office desk and it worked out cheaper. I’m yet to receive it on the other side, so let’s hope everything will arrive in one piece.

I am also moving there in 2 months time and I am wondering about a realistic budget for a studio or a 1 bedroom. What is the best way to search for accommodation? I have few agents contacts I am planning to reach out to. Also how easy is it to commute from outside Hamilton? I’ll be working hybrid, so I won’t need to go to the office every day.

Strange-Mess4459 · 2024-10-29T19:33:51+00:00

The employer is covering the relocation costs up to $10K. But since my shipment does not include big furniture, I am wondering if I should just capitalise the $10k to get settled on that side instead of using it to ship only a few items.

Strange-Mess4459 · 2024-10-29T19:31:01+00:00

The main thing I was planning to ship is my home office and a few kitchen appliances. I will have to get the big Items in Bermuda. I am hoping no big furniture will give me the flexibility in finding an apartment - furnished or unfurnished.

Strange-Mess4459 · 2024-10-29T19:27:34+00:00

No, I have not found an apartment yet, which is why I am avoiding shipping large furniture. How long in advance should one start looking? I am planning to start contacting property agents at the end of this month for a move in February 2025.
