Critical Skills Work Permit

The Irish Critical Skills Employment Visa is a work permit based on a job offer that enables immigrants to work in Ireland in a role that earns between €32,000 to €64,000 annually, if the position is on Ireland’s Highly Skilled Occupations List.

The CSEP can be applied for by either the employer or the employee.

 

Length of stay

The Critical Skills Employment Permit for Ireland is valid for two years. Immigrants may then apply for a Stamp 4, which entitles them to reside and work permanently in Ireland.

 

Job Offer

Before requesting this visa, the prospective immigrant worker must already have a job offer from Ireland and meet all other requirements (necessary education, training, and experience). The employment agreement must specify that the permit holder will work there for at least two years.

 

Labour Market Needs Test

The Labour Market Needs Test is not applied to jobs given to immigrants under the Critical Skills Employment Permit program.

 

Minimum salary

Jobs provided to immigrants under the Critical Skills Employment Permit programme must pay at least one of the following:

In most circumstances, the salary is €64,000 per year; however, if the position is on Ireland’s Highly Skilled Occupations List, the annual salary is €32,000.

General Work Permit

Non-EEA nationalities often require an employment permit in order to work in Ireland. The Irish General Employment Visa is a work permit that enables foreigners to work in Ireland in positions that pay at least €30,000 annually, with some exceptions.  This visa can be applied for by either the employer or the employee.

Applications for positions paying more than €27,000 annually are only taken into consideration in the following circumstances:

  • A non-EEA student who recently graduated from an Irish third-level institution (within the past year) and was also given the opportunity to accept graduate employment from the Critical Skills Occupations List.
  • Those who are applying for a position requiring a specialised language or must be fluent in a non-EEA language.

However, in order to renew your visa, your yearly wage must be at least €30,000.

 

        Length of Stay

The General Employment Permit for Ireland is initially granted for two years and may be extended for an additional three years. Any immigrant with a work permit may apply for long-term residence in Ireland after five years.

 

        Job Offer

Before requesting this visa, the prospective immigrant worker must already have a job offer from Ireland and meet all other requirements, including having the necessary education, training, and experience.

Companies that presently employ more than 50% of non-EEA workers are not eligible to apply for General Employment Permits for prospective personnel. This requirement may be avoided if the business is a start-up or the applicant is the only employee.

 

        Labour Market Needs Test

Jobs provided to immigrants under a General Employment Permit are subject to a Labour Market Needs Test, which typically requires that they first be marketed to employees within the European Economic Area.

Dependent /Spouse Visa

The Irish Dependent/Partner/Spouse Employment encourages certain Irish work permit holders’ family members to reside and earn a living in Ireland.

 

When a spouse or de facto partner registers with the Irish Naturalization and Immigration Service, permission will be granted (INIS). Other dependents need to apply for a work permit.

You need to be the legal spouse or common-law partner of one of the following:

  • An individual who has a Critical Skills Employment Permit (CSEP)
  • A researcher who is covered by a Hosting Agreement (as per Directive 2005/71/EC)
  • There are no fees associated with applying for or renewing a dependent/partner/spouse employment permit.

Length of Stay

This visa is often provided up until the expiration date of the original permit holder’s visa since candidates for the Dependent/Partner/Spouse Employment Permit must have a spouse or other family member already living in Ireland on an Irish employment permit.

 

Job Offer

Before requesting this visa, the prospective immigrant worker must already have a job offer from Ireland and meet all other requirements, including having the necessary education, training, and experience.  Employment agencies and similar entities are not permitted to apply for a General Employment Permit because the employer must intend to directly hire and compensate the migrant worker.

The job must be available for at least 10 hours per week and pay at least the minimum wage in Ireland.

Except in extraordinary circumstances, holders of this visa are required to remain with their initial employer for a minimum of one year.

 

Eligibility Requirements

Applicants must fulfil the following requirements in order to be eligible for an Irish Dependent/Spouse Employment Permit:

  • Applicants must fulfil the following requirements in order to be eligible for an Irish Dependent/Partner/Spouse Employment Permit:
  • Must be married to, in a civil union with, or be a minor child of a holder of one of the following Irish visas:
  • Critical Skills Employment Permit
  • Green Card Permit
  • Employment Permit or Hosting Agreement for a researcher position
  • Those who formerly held one of the above positions but are now authorised to live and work in Ireland without them
  • have lived continuously in Ireland since arriving
  • Dependents must not be enrolled in a full-time program of study.

Stamp 0

Stamp 0 implies a conditional authorization to stay in Ireland for a temporary period.

 

Eligibility

Stamp 0 may be granted if you have authorization to:

 

  • retiring or living in Ireland as an independent individual
  • Become a visiting scholar at a college or university in Ireland

residing in Ireland as an elderly, dependent relative of an Irish national, a non-EU/EEA national, or a Swiss national.

Passport Application

If you can demonstrate that you are an Irish citizen, you can apply for an Irish passport. As a holder of an Irish passport, you can benefit from a lot of things. The application involves a number of processes, some of which can be complicated. However, we can help you through every step of the process.

Irish Passport Waiting Times

It is advised to apply at least six weeks before the date of travel in order to allow for processing time. Passport renewals take less time. The processing time for an adult simple passport is approximately 10 working days from the date of submission. However, the processing time for complicated renewals, particularly for child passports, can range from 6 to 8 weeks.

 

Requirement for Irish Passport

Meeting the requirements is an important part of applying for an Irish passport. The majority of it usually includes your supporting documents, and you’ll generally be required to provide documents proving your identity, address, and age.

In general, the documents you’ll submit will depend on your Irish citizenship. Different documents are required for Irish citizenship by marriage, naturalisation, descent, or adoption, for example.

To avoid delays and increase your chances of getting an Irish passport, make sure all of your documentation is complete before submitting it.
