Actus Business Immigration Irish Intra Company Transfer Permits (ICT)

Do You Require an ICT Permit For Yourself or Business Critical Personnel in Ireland?

Personnel entering employment in Ireland from outside the European Union/ European Economic Area will require a permit from the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment. Irish Intra Company Transfer Permits (ICT) are designed to facilitate the temporary transfer of senior managerial, key personnel and trainees who are non EEA nationals, from an overseas branch of a corporation to its Irish branches. The employee must earn a minimum of €40,000 gross basic per year. The employee must have worked for a minimum period of twelve months with the overseas company prior to the transfer. The employee should meet the professional or managerial criteria associated with the transfer role. Initial ICT permits must be for a period of twenty four months.

Employees on ICT Permits may not exceed 5% of the total work force of the Irish based firm. Exceptions to this rule may be made for business start ups or in small firms. The foreign branch of the company must be bona fide and engaged in substantial business in its country of location. The link between the business entities must be clearly set out.
