PPS - Public Service Pension Applicant Form

Hi everyone,
I’m relocating early September for a job in a public service body. I need to fill in a form for the Public Service Pension, but I need to write my PPS on it.
However, I understood that I cannot apply for a PPS number before actually moving in Ireland. Do you think it would be ok to leave the field blank for now?
Thanks !

Leave the field blank and see what happens? Seems like your only other choice is a flight to Ireland

It may help to contact with a relocation agent who can help you get set up with a PPS number and bank account and housing, without being in the country.
