Homeschooling and education
Visiting, not moving? Short-term visitors usually remain under their home country's education rules (or the rules of the country where they are legally resident). A destination's school-attendance and home-education laws generally apply to children who become resident there. This is a general principle, not a legal ruling: if you plan a long stay or residency, check with the education authorities in both countries. For Ireland (EU) families: Tusla: Alternative Education Assessment and Registration Service ↗.
