Do You Require a Work Permit For Yourself or Business Critical Personnel in Ireland?

Work Permits are issued to individuals who have been offered employment in Ireland where the Irish employer has not been able to source an employee from within the wider EU / EEA. Work permits are now issued under limited circumstances where the post has a salary in excess of €30,000, is business critical and cannot be filled easily in Europe. The employee must have the requisite skills, experience and where required qualifications associated with the job. The employer must have undergone the statutory labour test.
