Ireland Awaits: From Job Offer to Residency

-


To settle in Ireland on a work visa, you'll typically go through the Critical Skills Employment Permit or General Employment Permit route. Here’s a step-by-step guide for you:

✅ Step-by-Step Process to Settle in Ireland on a Work Visa:

🟢 Step 1: Understand Visa Types

Ireland has two major types of work permits:

  1. Critical Skills Employment Permit (CSEP) – for high-demand, high-skill jobs (e.g. IT, healthcare, engineering).
  2. General Employment Permit (GEP) – for other skilled jobs not on the ineligible list.

🟢 Step 2: Find a Job in Ireland

  • You must have a job offer from an Irish employer.
  • Job must meet minimum salary criteria:
    • €32,000/year for CSEP (in certain professions)
    • €64,000/year for most other roles
    • For GEP: Usually minimum €30,000–€38,000/year

Job Portals to Find Jobs in Ireland:

🟢 Step 3: Secure a Work Contract

  • Get a formal offer letter/contract from the employer.
  • It should mention your salary, job title, location, and duration.

🟢 Step 4: Apply for Work Permit

✅ Go to the Employment Permits Online System (EPOS)

  • Either you or your employer can apply.
  • Pay required fees:
    • €1,000 for a 2-year Critical Skills permit (refundable if refused).
  • Processing time: 4–6 weeks

🟢 Step 5: Apply for Work Visa (D Visa)

Once your work permit is approved, apply for a Long Stay D Visa:

⏳ Processing Time: 4–8 weeks

🟢 Step 6: Travel to Ireland & Register

Once visa is granted:

  • Book your ticket
  • Arrive in Ireland
  • Within 90 days of arrival, register with Immigration (GNIB/IRP)

🔹 You’ll receive your Irish Residence Permit (IRP).

🟢 Step 7: Bring Family (Optional)

If you're on a Critical Skills Permit, you can bring your spouse and children:

  • They can apply for dependent visas
  • Spouse can also work in Ireland

🟢 Step 8: Apply for Permanent Residency (Stamp 4)

After 2 years on a Critical Skills Employment Permit:

  • You can apply for Stamp 4, which gives residency without work restrictions.

🟢 Step 9: Apply for Citizenship

After 5 years of residence (legally), you can apply for:

  • Long-term residency, and eventually
  • Irish citizenship (if you meet conditions)

📌 Additional Tips:

  • Keep your passport valid.
  • Have international health insurance until you're covered in Ireland.
  • Improve your English fluency, especially for job interviews.
