Child Benefit whilst abroad

It depends on where you pay your rsi. If you pay it in Ireland then that is where you claim child benefit. Had friend whose husband moved to uk to work. She stayed here for 6 months with kids to finish school year and sell house. She ended up having to repay it as should have claimed in uk as that was where rsi paid.
 
dawe, you state that you and the children currently live in Asia.

If a parent works in Ireland and the child(ren) don't live here, a claim can only be made for Irish Child Benefit if the child(ren) live in the European Economic Area (EEA).

As your children live outside the EEA, there is no entitlement to Child Benefit even if your husband lives and works here in Ireland.
