Ireland has a list of critical skills with categories that need to be filled. Foreign nationals are encouraged to apply to work in Ireland through one of the categories, which include health care, IT, and hospitality.
The critical skills Employment Visa aims to attract highly qualified and experienced people to Ireland to fill positions within each category, perhaps with an eye to immigrate permanently.
The Visa/Permit is initially issued for two years, after which you can apply for a Stamp 4, which gives you permission to live and work in Ireland without an employment visa/permit.
The General Employment Visa/Permit isn’t bound by specific categories. Instead, it can be issued for any vacant position in Ireland. Approval for this one of Ireland’s work visas/permits can be tricky to obtain. Its general nature, which doesn’t address any critical skills, must be assessed differently.
One of the most important factors is that you make a difference to Ireland and its economy. It is difficult to measure this quality.
The general employment visa/permit is valid for two years. You can renew your visa/permit for up to three years, after which you must apply to the Immigration Service Delivery of long-term residency.
The Intra-Company Transfer (ICT) Work Visa in Ireland simplifies the process of transferring an employee from an overseas branch of a multinational company to a branch that is based in Ireland. The transfer visa is typically reserved for senior management, key personnel, or trainees who are non-EEA nationals.
An ICT Work Visa is valid for two years, depending on the duration of the work project. You can apply for a renewal after two years. The maximum period you’re allowed to stay in Ireland is five years.
Each work permit has different qualifying requirements, which need different forms and documentation.
These are defined in the above table.
