Sounds easy....
To work in Ireland, most US citizens need an Irish work permit (Employment Permit) and may also need a visa. Securing a job offer is usually the first step, as the work permit application often requires it. The specific requirements and types of permits (like the Critical Skills Employment Permit) depend on the nature of the work and the individual's qualifications.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Secure a Job Offer:
Many employment permits require a confirmed job offer from an Irish employer.
Look for job openings on Irish job sites, at job fairs, or through professional networking.
Tailor your CV to Irish standards and highlight relevant skills and experience, according to Pacific Prime.
2. Apply for an Employment Permit:
Employment permits are issued by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (DETE).
The Critical Skills Employment Permit is often favored for skilled professionals in high-demand sectors and can expedite the visa process, notes JK Moving Services.
Other permit types include General Employment Permits, Dependent/Partner/Spouse Employment Permits, and permits for researchers or those on hosting agreements.
The 50:50 rule may apply, where employers sponsoring a foreign national must have a workforce that is more than 50% EU citizens.
3. Obtain a Visa (if required):
If you need a visa, it's typically applied for after the employment permit is approved.
The type of visa (e.g., Long Stay D Visa) will depend on the duration of your stay and the purpose of your visit.
4. Register with the Irish Immigration Service:
If you plan to stay longer than 90 days, you'll need to register with the Immigration Service Delivery.
This usually involves providing your passport, employment permit, and proof of your employment.
5. Working Holiday Authorisation (WHA):
The WHA program allows young Americans to live and work in Ireland for up to 12 months.
This is a reciprocal program between the US and Ireland.
Important Notes:
The process can be complex, so it's recommended to seek professional advice from an immigration lawyer or consultant.
Be aware of the specific requirements for your chosen employment permit and visa type.
Dublin is known to have a housing crisis and high cost of living, so be prepared for these factors.
