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 aft

er, 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.

These are some of the people you probably speak to every day. 🤍

When you have a question about your process, need an update, send us an email or simply need someone to guide you through the next step, these are some of the faces on the other side.

Recently, part of our team got together for dinner, and with Morgana visiting us from Brazil, we had a great opportunity to capture this moment together.

Our full team couldn’t be there, as some of us are based in Brazil, but we thought it was a good opportunity to introduce some of the people behind the conversations you have with us every day.

Because behind every email, message, application and question, there’s a real person here to support you.

So, it’s nice that you get to know some of the faces behind MWeds too. 🤍

Waiting for your IRP renewal?
Here’s where processing currently stands. 🇮🇪

ISD has updated the submission dates currently being processed across the different Stamp categories, so if you’re waiting for your new IRP card, this can give you a better idea of where your application sits in the queue.

If you submitted your application after the date shown for your Stamp category, your application is still queued and will be processed in due course.

ISD is currently experiencing an extremely high volume of IRP renewal applications, and applications are being processed strictly in order of submission date within each Stamp category, to ensure fairness to all applicants.

Once your application has been successfully processed, remember that it may take up to a further 15 business days for your new approved IRP card to arrive by post.

So, if your date hasn’t come up yet, it doesn’t necessarily mean there is an issue with your application, it may simply still be waiting its turn.

📅 Submission dates are updated weekly, so make sure to keep checking for the latest information.

⚠️ TWO TEMPORARY MEASURES introduced to support people affected by IRP renewal delays are coming to an end.

From **1 September 2026**, things change:

1️⃣ The temporary measure that extended beyond the usual 12-week period comes to an end, and the standard Notice to Employers rules apply again.

2️⃣ The temporary Travel Confirmation Notice arrangement also ends. If your new IRP card hasn’t arrived yet, we recommend waiting before booking non-essential travel.

If your renewal is pending, keep your renewal receipt and OREG number safely as proof that your application was submitted.

Save this post for later and share it with someone who is still waiting for their IRP card. 🇮🇪

🚨 QUOTA ALMOST FILLED 🚨
Meat Processing Operative

A maximum of 1,000 General Employment Permits was made available for this occupation and demand has now exceeded the available quota.

What does this mean?

Once the quota is fully reached, applications that are still in the processing queue will be rejected.

For this reason, the current guidance is clear:
⚠️ DO NOT SUBMIT new Employment Permit applications for Meat Processing Operatives at this time.

If you already have an application in the processing queue, this does not automatically mean it has been rejected. However, because the quota is oversubscribed, applications remaining in the queue when the limit is reached will be rejected.

This is an important reminder that Employment Permit quotas can directly affect whether an application can proceed, even when other eligibility requirements may be met.

At MWeds, we’re monitoring Employment Permit updates closely and will continue sharing any developments that may affect employers and applicants.

📩 If you are considering applying for an employment permit, get in touch with our team before submitting your application.

🇮🇪 Half a million passports.
In just six months.

More than 500,000 Irish passports were issued between January and June 2026, and behind that number are some interesting figures.

📍 Dublin, Cork and Antrim recorded the highest numbers across the island:

Dublin: 93,223
Cork: 35,257
Antrim: 17,986

🌍 But the Irish passport reaches far beyond the island.

Only 367,471 of the 500,000+ passports issued during the period went to people living across the 32 counties, meaning more than one in four were issued to Irish citizens living elsewhere.

And where is demand particularly strong outside the Republic?

The latest full-year application figures available, from 2024, show:

1️⃣ Northern Ireland: 128,669 applications
2️⃣ Great Britain: approx. 114,100 applications
3️⃣ United States: 31,825 applications

👀 There is something else new in 2026 too.

Anyone applying since the end of June is receiving Ireland’s newly redesigned passport, featuring advanced security technology alongside a new look inspired by Ireland’s landscapes, wildlife and culture. 🇮🇪

Have you received the new passport design yet?
And if you live abroad, where did you apply from? 🌍

18 Employment Permit approvals.✅
Across 8 different job roles. ☘️

Between 4 and 12 August, we received Employment Permit approvals for professionals working across very different areas, including:

▪️ Healthcare Assistant
▪️ Playgroup Leader
▪️ Early Years Educator
▪️ Car Mechanic
▪️ Marketing Executive
▪️ Data Technician
▪️ Bricklayer
▪️ Air Conditioning & Heat Pump Installer

It’s a good reminder that Employment Permit opportunities in Ireland can exist across a wider range of professions than many people realise.

Of course, eligibility always depends on the specific role, permit requirements and individual circumstances.

💬 Now we want to hear from you:
which job title on this list surprised you the most?

Maybe it’s a role you never thought could lead to an Employment Permit in Ireland.

Does working in HR mean you can get an Employment Permit in Ireland? 🤔

The answer isn't simply yes or no.

It depends on what you actually do in your role.

Some HR positions, especially those focused on routine administrative tasks, are generally not eligible. On the other hand, more strategic or specialist roles may be eligible, depending on the position and the Employment Permit requirements.

When assessing eligibility, factors such as:
✔️ Your responsibilities
✔️ The salary offered
✔️ The occupation itself

can all make a difference.

Every case is different, which is why it's important to look beyond the job title.

💬 Do you work in HR? Tell us your current job title in the comments, and we'll let you know whether it may be eligible for an Employment Permit in Ireland.

A few weeks ago, the Irish immigration authorities announced a temporary measure allowing certain people with recently expired immigration permissions to continue working while their renewal application is being processed.

They have now confirmed that this also applies to eligible Critical Skills Employment Permit holders who:

✅ Applied for their Stamp 4 before their current permission expired; and
✅ Are still waiting for their application to be processed due to the current backlog.

If this is your situation, you can continue working under the same conditions as your previous permission until 31 August 2026 while your Stamp 4 application is being processed. You do not need a NEW Employment Permit during this period.

If your employer has any questions, you can show them the official notice, which confirms your right to continue working under this temporary arrangement.

📎 We've also attached the Notes to Employers link below so you can share it with your employer if needed.

As always, this temporary measure only applies if you meet the conditions set out in the official notice.
