MWeds Irish Employment Permits 🇮🇪☘️

Residence Permits in Ireland 🇮🇪☘️
Irish Naturalisation 🇮🇪☘️

It all started in 2016 when we found it very difficult and overwhelming to find accurate information on how to get married in Europe. After going through this arduous process and finally getting married in Northern Ireland, we decided to share our experience and posted our story on a Facebook group to inform and help couples who were in a similar position of when we tried getting married. Soon after, people started contacting us asking for help. From 2016 to 2017 we helped hundreds of couples who needed straightforward information for their own processes. After helping those couples, we were encouraged by them to open our own consultancy. At first, we were a bit reluctant since our focus was just to help others, and not turn it into a business. However, as it got very demanding and this was taking away a lot of our free time since we were both working full time, we decided that it was time to make it formal by opening a business. Sometime later, we started supporting couples with their weddings in multiple locations, as well as providing support for individuals with their residence visas and employment permit applications. Since the beginning, MWeds has grown significantly in terms of improving its processes, making weddings and visas simpler and more straightforward for couples and individuals. As a team, we consult people from all over the world in getting married in Denmark, Gibraltar, Northern Ireland and Brazil. Also, we are happy to help individuals with their Irish Residence permits and Employment Permits in Ireland.

🇮🇪 IRISH CITIZENSHIP Q&A — EPISODE 6

You've spent years living in Ireland.
But will all that time count towards citizenship? 👀

This is one of the most important questions raised by the proposed changes to Irish naturalisation rules.

Under the General Scheme, certain periods of residence could be excluded from the calculation, even when someone held an immigration permission during that time.

And it's not just about how long you've lived in Ireland.
The type of permission you held, your immigration history and even the timing of your application could make a difference.

So, what could this mean for your path to Irish citizenship?

🎥 In Part 6 of our Irish Citizenship Q&A series, we break down these proposals and explain why the details matter.

📌 Important: These changes are still proposals, not law.
Their final scope and impact remain subject to the legislative process.

💬 Have questions about your own situation? Let us know in the comments!

Stay tuned for Episode 7! 🇮🇪

OUR LATEST EMPLOYMENT PERMIT APPROVALS 🇮🇪✅

From 28 September to 2 October, we received 13 NEW APPROVALS across different professions and nationalities.

Here's what we've been working on behind the scenes:

✅ 7 New General Employment Permits
✅ 5 Renewals
✅ 1 Change of Employer

Congratulations to all our clients! 💙🇮🇪

🇮🇪 Ireland's minimum wage is going up again in 2027! 💶

As part of Budget 2027, the Irish Government has announced another increase to the National Minimum Wage.

From 1 January 2027, the hourly rate for workers aged 20 and over will rise:

▫️ 2026: €14.15 per hour
▫️ 2027: €14.94 per hour

That's an increase of 5.6%, or €0.79 per hour!

For someone working 39 hours a week, that means approximately €1,600 more per year before tax.

An important update for both employees and employers as Ireland prepares for another year of changes.

💬 What do you think? Is this increase enough to keep up with the cost of living in Ireland?

And at MWeds, we've been feeling this increase too!

According to the Irish Examiner, 8,765 people applied for Irish citizenship in September, compared to just 2,611 in August.

That's a huge jump in just one month! 👀

But what's behind this sudden increase?

Following the Government's announcement of proposed changes to Irish citizenship rules, many people who already meet the current requirements are choosing to submit their applications before the rules potentially change.

And we saw that first-hand at MWeds. September was an incredibly busy month, with a noticeable increase in people reaching out and moving forward with their citizenship applications.

The General Scheme has been published, but the proposed changes are not law yet. The next step is the Bill, which will need to go through the legislative process.

And there's still one big question:

💬 Will the new rules affect people who are already living in Ireland, or will there be transitional arrangements?

We don't have that answer yet.

For now, if you're already eligible under the current rules, it's worth understanding your options rather than waiting until the legislation changes.

We'll continue following the developments and sharing updates as more details become available. 🇮🇪

🇮🇪 IRISH CITIZENSHIP Q&A — PART 5

Born in Ireland… does that automatically make a child an Irish citizen? 👀

Under the General Scheme, some of the proposed changes could also affect the citizenship rules for children born in Ireland.

But what exactly could change?

▫️ Would parents still need 3 years of residence before their child is born?

▫️ Could certain immigration permissions stop counting towards those 3 years?

▫️ Would these changes affect children who have already been born?

▫️ Would children born in Ireland still have a separate route to citizenship?

▫️ And if a parent becomes an Irish citizen, does their child automatically become Irish too?

That's what we're breaking down in Part 5 of our Irish Citizenship Q&A series.

Remember: these are proposals based on the General Scheme, they are not law yet.

More details may become clearer as the Bill is drafted and the legislation progresses.

We'll continue answering the questions you've been sending us in the next videos. 🇮🇪

🇮🇪 IRISH CITIZENSHIP Q&A — PART 4

In Part 4 of our Irish Citizenship Q&A series, we're looking at another important area of the proposed changes: language requirements, civic knowledge and immigration history.

Under the General Scheme, new requirements could be introduced as part of the naturalisation process.

But what would this actually mean for applicants?

▫️ Will you need to pass an English language test?

▫️ Could there be a test about Ireland, its society and government?

▫️ Could some applicants be exempt from these tests?

▫️ Would immigration offences affect your citizenship application?

▫️ And would you need to continue meeting the requirements while waiting for a decision?

That's what we're breaking down in Part 4 of our Irish Citizenship Q&A series.

Remember: these are proposals based on the General Scheme, they are not law yet.

We're continuing to follow the developments and answer the questions you've been sending us. 🇮🇪

Two school closures ❌ One student ‼️
And an Employment Permit application affected along the way. 😔

This is a real case we’re currently handling at MWeds.

What started with a school closure ended up affecting our client’s immigration permission and later became a key factor in his Employment Permit journey.

It’s a good reminder that immigration matters don’t always exist in isolation.

Your student status, residence permission and Employment Permit journey can be connected.

In this case, after assessing the options, our client decided to leave Ireland, and we’ll submit a new Employment Permit application while he is outside the country.

But this story isn’t over yet. 👀
Follow us for Part 2‼️

When we have a decision on the new application, we’ll come back and tell you how this case ended.

And if you’ve been affected by a school closure in Ireland, don’t wait for another issue to arise before understanding how it could affect your immigration status.

🇮🇪 IRISH CITIZENSHIP Q&A — PART 3 🇮🇪

Could your income or social welfare affect your Irish citizenship application? 👀

This is another area that could change significantly under the proposals in the General Scheme.

Under the proposed changes, applicants would need to demonstrate financial self-sufficiency and show that they would not become an excessive burden on the State.

But what does that actually mean?
▫️ Will there be a minimum income requirement?
▫️ Could receiving social welfare affect your application?
▫️ What about social housing?
▫️ How far back could your benefits be considered?
▫️ And could outstanding debts to the State prevent you from becoming an Irish citizen?

That’s what we’re breaking down in Part 3 of our Irish Citizenship Q&A series.

Remember: these are proposals based on the General Scheme, they are not law yet.

Some important details, including the income threshold and which benefits may be considered, have not yet been defined. We need to wait for the Bill to have a clearer picture of how these requirements could work in practice.

We’ll be answering more of the questions you’ve been sending us in the next videos. 🇮🇪

Two busy weeks.
A lot of work behind the scenes.
And 16 Employment Permit approvals to celebrate! 🇮🇪✅

Our latest approvals include:
✅ 9 New General Employment Permits
✅ 4 Renewals
✅ 3 Changes of Employer

But why do we keep sharing these approvals⁉️

We share them because one of the things we hear most is:
“I didn’t know this profession could get an Employment Permit in Ireland.”

And that’s exactly the point ‼️

The Employment Permit landscape has changed a lot over the years, and today there are opportunities across many different professions and sectors. Sometimes, the possibilities are much broader than people realise.

And now we’re curious… 👀

Which profession on this list surprised you the most?

Which one did you never imagine could lead to an Employment Permit in Ireland?

Married to an Irish citizen… could the citizenship rules change for you too? 👀

This is another important question we’ve been receiving since the General Scheme was published.

Under the proposed changes, the route for spouses and civil partners of Irish citizens would also change.

➡️ The marriage or civil partnership requirement would increase from 3 to 5 years.
➡️ The residence requirement would also increase to 5 years.

But what would those 5 years look like?

▫️ Would you need 2 years of continuous residence immediately before applying?
▫️ Would the language and civic knowledge requirements also apply to spouses?
▫️ And what about the proposed income and social welfare requirements?

That’s what we’re breaking down in Part 2 of our Irish Citizenship Q&A series.
Remember: these are proposals based on the General Scheme, they are not law yet.

More details may become clearer as the Bill is written and the legislation progresses.

We’ll be answering more of the questions you’ve been sending us in the next videos. 🇮🇪
