The Republic of Ireland is granting work permits to foreign talent under its Critical Skills Employment Permit which targets skilled workers in professions facing a skills shortage in Ireland.
CityNews Nigeria learns that this permit is typically for those who are from a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK, or Switzerland such as Nigeria.
The process involves obtaining permission to work in Ireland, typically through an employment permit.
This scheme targets skilled workers in professions facing a skills shortage in Ireland, listed on the Critical Skills Occupation List by the Department of Enterprise, Trade, and Employment (DETE).
Applications are submitted before arriving in Ireland, often requiring a visa. After arrival, registration and obtaining an Irish Residence Permit are mandatory.
The application for a Critical Skills Employment Permit can be submitted by either you or your employer to the Employment Permits Section of the Department of Enterprise, Trade, and Employment.
The Employment Permits Online System (EPOS) needs to be utilized to apply online, providing necessary documentation. The Critical Skills Employment Permit checklist is available for assistance during the application process.
A fee of €1,000 must be paid by either you or your employer. In case of application refusal, a refund of 90% of the application fee is applicable.
Spouses or de-facto partners aged 16 and over must register and obtain an IRP, with the option for a Stamp 1G IRP for work without a permit. Other family members may apply for a Dependent/Spouse/Partner Employment Permit.
