Visas and Work Permits

If you want to work in Ireland and you are a Non-EU/EEA citizen, you will need to apply for a visa or work permit which can only be arranged after you have been offered employment. Your application for a visa can be made by you directly or your employer with two types of employment visa/permits available to you provided your profession is on the critical skills short-list.

Critical Skills Visa

An application for a work permit can be made by either the employer or the employee. The following documentation must be supplied:

• A fully completed employment permit application form signed by both your employer and you, the employee;
• The position you are applying for is on the critical skills shortage list (click here);
• Evidence of the employee’s certified qualifications;
• The appropriate processing fee paid for by the applicant (employer or employee);
• A copy of the registration documentation with the appropriate medical body or validation of qualifications from the Department of Health and Children should also be attached.
