Who can come to work in Ireland?
Anyone is allowed to come to work and live in Ireland, although some will find the process easier than others. Those who live in the EU, EAA or Switzerland do not require an employment permit to live and work in Ireland. Also, if you are married or if you have dependents, they can also come with you without requiring an employment permit and are entitled to the same benefits as an Irish citizen.
Those who are not relocating to Ireland from the EU, EAA or Switzerland will have to obtain an employment permit. There are several different kinds of permits that can be applied for, depending on where you are coming from and what kind of work you will be doing in Ireland. The most common employment permit that a job seeker will need in Ireland is either the Critical Skills Employment Permit or the General Employment Permit. These permits can be obtained from Ireland’s Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation.
