Ireland
Green Card

A Green Card Permit for Ireland is an employment permit which allows skilled individuals to work in Ireland for a specified employer in an occupation where skills shortages exist. Over 1000 Irish employers use Visa First to successfully organise visas for their staff every year.

The Green Card Ireland is issued for an initial period of two years, after which it can normally be renewed indefinitely.

To be eligible for an Irish Green Card you need a job offer from a bona-fide company registered for trading in Ireland. The job offer must be for a position with a salary of more than €60,000, but Green Card Permits are available for jobs with salaries between €30,000 and €59,999 for a restricted number of strategically important occupations.

You must also meet the skills, qualifications and experience requirements of the position being applied for and the position must be for at least two years. Visit Am I Eligible for more information.

An Ireland Green Card application can be made by either the employee or the employer and this visa category does not require labour markets needs testing.

As well as your Irish Visa, Visa First can help you organise all the things you need to start working and living in Ireland, including assistance with setting up your bank account and your PPS number.
