Immigration Support for Individuals

Documents and Information
You May Need
Before progressing with an immigration related enquiry, it is important to check whether you can provide the right information and supporting documents.
You may be asked about your current country of residence, legal permission to live there, previous immigration history, visa refusals, criminal convictions, qualifications, work experience, employment evidence, financial documents and family documents where relevant.
These checks help identify potential issues early and give a clearer understanding of what support may be needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you are not a citizen of the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK, you will generally require an Employment Permit or other valid immigration permission to work in Ireland. The appropriate immigration route will depend on your nationality, occupation, employment offer, and individual circumstances.
After the Employment Permit is approved, then the next step is to check if you need an Entry Visa for Ireland. Entry Visa requirements depend on the individual's nationality and circumstances. Some candidates may require both an Employment Permit and a visa, while others may only require the appropriate Employment Permit. The official list of visa-required and non-visa-required nationalities is available here: https://www.irishimmigration.ie/visa-non-visa-required-nationalities/
An Irish Residence Permit is proof that a non EEA national is registered with immigration in Ireland. If you are staying in Ireland for longer than 90 days, you must register your permission.
Stamp 4 is an Irish immigration permission that allows a person to work in Ireland without needing a separate employment permit, subject to the conditions of that permission.
You may need passports, immigration permission evidence, visa refusal details, qualification documents, employment evidence, bank statements and family documents where relevant. The candidate vetting document highlights these areas as important for immigration review.
