I don't currently have neither an irish residence nor an irish bank account yet

or I could say : I don't have an irish residence and an irish bank account yet

Best Answer

I don't currently have neither an Irish residence nor an Irish bank account yet.

...is incorrect English, 'don't ... neither' would be a double negative. (Exception: if uttered in a rich Irish brogue, 'don't ... neither' becomes charmingly emphatic.)

I don't have an Irish residence and an Irish bank account yet

...also incorrect. It leaves the possibility that you might have one, but not the other.

Better:

I don't have an Irish residence or an Irish bank account yet.

Or, (by rearrangement, remove 2nd redundant 'Irish'):

I don't have an an Irish bank account or residence yet.

Or:

I have neither an Irish residence, nor an Irish bank account, yet.
