Irish passport holders enter Germany freely as EU citizens. No visa, no fee, no time limit on stays. Ireland is not in the Schengen Area, so passport or ID control applies on arrival from Ireland. A valid Irish passport or Passport Card is sufficient.
For stays beyond 3 months, register your address at the local Burgeramt (citizens's office) within 14 days of moving into accommodation. The Anmeldung (address registration) is free and produces a Meldebestatigung, which is required for opening a bank account, signing contracts, and tax registration. EU citizens do not need a residence permit. Health insurance is mandatory for all residents in Germany, either public (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung, starting at roughly 15.9% of gross salary split with employer) or private.

Germany is more cash-reliant than most Western European countries; many restaurants and smaller shops do not accept cards, so carry EUR 50 to EUR 100. The phrase "Nur Bargeld" or "Keine Kartenzahlung" means cash only. Irish driving licenses are valid for short stays; residents must exchange within 6 months at the local Fahrerlaubnisbehorde.
