Destination Overview
Your route to Ireland starts with fit.
Non-EEA nationals usually need the correct employment permission and, where applicable, a long-stay visa before working in Ireland for more than 90 days. Family and study applications follow separate permission and evidence rules.
Our approach
We compare realistic categories, identify evidence gaps and organise the sequence before you commit to an application.

The right category depends on current rules and your individual circumstances. These route summaries are for initial orientation.
General Employment
Other qualifying roles may fall under the General Employment Permit framework, subject to the current rules.
Study and Research
Students and researchers must use the route that matches their institution, programme and purpose of stay.
Family Dependants
Eligibility to join or remain with a family member depends on the sponsor, relationship and immigration permission.
