Thinking about moving to Ireland but confused about work permits? ๐ฎ๐ช๐
โThe rules for moving to Ireland differ completely based on whether you're an EU citizen or not! For non-EU/British nationals, you must have both a visa and a work permit to legally reside and work in Ireland.
โIn this video, I clear up the most common points of confusion:
๐ Applying for a work permit first, then the Long Stay Category D Visa.
๐ CRUCIAL: You cannot switch from a visit visa to a work permit inside Ireland. You must return to your home country to re-apply.
โWe also touch on a special exception for family members of EU nationals. There's a nuance regarding the text on your residence card that I'll be explaining in my next video, so make sure you're tuned in!
โ๐ Drop a "GUIDE" below if you want a detailed breakdown of these rules!
