Employment Permit Applications
To work in Ireland a non-EEA National, unless they are exempt must hold a valid employment permit.
Employment permits are allocated through the Critical Skills Occupations List, the Ineligible List of Occupations and other Specified Lists identified by the Department of Enterprise Trade and Employment (DETE).
