Immigration FAQ's

Do I need to apply for a work permit?

A non-EEA national who has been granted permission to remain in Ireland on one of the following grounds does not need to apply for a work visa:

  • Permission to remain as a spouse or dependant of an Irish/EEA national
  • Permission to remain as the parent of an Irish citizen
  • Temporary leave to remain on humanitarian grounds, having been through the asylum process
  • Explicit permission from the Department of Justice and Equality to remain as a resident and employer in Ireland
  • Permission to be in the state as a registered student who is permitted to work 20 hours during term time and 40 hours during holiday periods
  • Permission to be in the state under the terms of the Diplomatic Relations and Immunities Act 1967, and are assigned to a mission of a country with whom the government has entered into a working dependents agreement

Can you help me if I have an employment permit application refused?

We help with employment permit refusals. If you have had a work permit application refused, our experienced immigration team will help you to submit an appeal or a new application that follows all the relevant procedures and legislative requirements to ensure you stand the best chance.

Can you help with group work permit applications?

We can help you to submit group employment permit applications for your company, so you can bring employees from abroad to your business in Ireland. We have helped many multinational companies from various industries, including construction, haulage, health care and technology, to make successful group applications.

However, an employment permit will not be issued if it will result in more than 50% of a workforce being made up of non-EU/EEA nationals.
An exception to this rule is where a business is a start-up company, is within its first two years of establishment and is supported by the IDA Ireland or Enterprise Ireland.

What are the penalties of working without a relevant permit?

Under the Employment Permits Act, it is a criminal offence for a non-EU/EEA national to work without an employment permit.
Penalties, including a fine of up to €250,000 can be enforced on parties who breach regulations.

What is a Van der Elst visa?

A Van der Elst visa entitles non-EEA employees already working in an EEA member state to work for their employer in Ireland temporarily. Our immigration team can help you make an application for a Van Der Elst visa.

I was very happy that I received my Irish citizenship in less than two years. You must gather all your “original” documents establishing the connection to the Irish-born grandparents; all understandable. The staff guided us each step of the way. Very pleased.

Everyone made the naturalization process so easy. It was very daunting when we first started out, but the kindness and helpfulness of all the staff made us feel confident we had done all the paperwork correctly. It was nice to have several pairs of professional eyes looking over our application and giving us the thumbs up that everything turned in was pointing to a successful outcome. Thank you to everyone.
