Move to Ireland | What work permits do you need

How to get visas and work permits for Ireland

Getting a permit to live and work in Ireland can be complicated if you are from a country outside of the EEA. Even with one of these, if you’re moving with family or a spouse/partner, you’ll want to know your options and the best route to take. Expert advice is invaluable.

We are delighted to partner with Future Direct, an Irish Immigration Consultancy based in Dublin. They specialise in Critical Skills Employment Permits, General Employment Permits, and various types of visa applications, as well as permit appeals.

Do you need a visa or work permit for Ireland?

Irish Immigration stipulates that citizens of the EEA (the EU, plus Iceland, Norway and Lichtenstein), Switzerland and the UK, can live and work in Ireland without an employment permit. If you are from a country outside of the EEA, Switzerland and the UK, you need permission to live and work in Ireland. Future Direct’s services enable businesses to hire non-EEA nationals and candidates to secure legal status in Ireland. Having helped thousands of corporate and private clients obtain their Employment Permits, Visas, Citizenships, and other legal statuses in Ireland, this new partnership opens many doors for skilled workers and families to move to Ireland.

Your initial 15-minute consultation is free and is all about a basic assessment of your situation. If there is a need for a more extended consultation, you can schedule a 45-minute consultation afterwards for €150.
