The Critical Skills Employment Permit applies to highly skilled, locally hired workers earning over a certain salary level. After 21 months, this can be replaced by a Stamp 4 for employment without an employment permit.

The General Employment Permit applies to local employment contracts where the Critical Skills Employment Permit is not an option. It is issued initially for up to 2 years, renewable for a further three years.

The EU Intra-Company Transfer Permit is also available.

A Contract for Services Permit may be issued for transfers of up to 90 days pursuant to a contract for services between the foreign employer and an Irish entity.

The Atypical Work Scheme provides a streamlined mechanism to deal with atypical, short-term employment where the nature of work is not governed by current legislation or available routes.
