The Irish General Employment Permit allows non-EEA nationals to work in Ireland in roles offering an annual salary of at least €30,000. For certain specialized roles or recent graduates, the threshold may be reduced to €27,000.
Our team ensures your application meets all the requirements, helping you secure your dream job in Ireland.
Ireland’s General Employment Permit is initially issued for 2 years and can be extended for an additional 3 years. After 5 years on any work permit, you may qualify for long-term residence.
We help you navigate renewals and exemptions, ensuring your career progression is uninterrupted.
To apply, you must have a job offer in Ireland and possess the skills and qualifications for the role. Employers must comply with specific rules, such as being registered in Ireland and ensuring no more than 50% of their workforce is non-EEA.
We assist both applicants and employers to meet these criteria seamlessly.
Most job offers for General Employment Permits must undergo a Labour Market Needs Test, ensuring the position is first advertised within the EEA.
Exceptions to this rule include:
