Irish officials announced that Stamp 1 CSEP holders or Stamp 1H permission holders are now eligible for a Stamp 4 upgrade upon completion of 21 months from the date of commencement of employment.
Key Points:
Background: Foreign nationals who have completed 57 months of employment on the basis of a General Employment Permit or an Intra-Company Transfer permit can now also apply for a Stamp 4. Previously, General Employment Permit holders were only eligible for a Stamp 4 upgrade after five years of employment, and Intra-Company Transfer Permit holders were not eligible for upgrade to a Stamp 4. The document requirements at registration for any employment category have not changed.
BAL Analysis: This change is welcome for employees who may no longer require second permits in order to satisfy the 21-month eligibility period for Stamp 4. The changes in policy should simplify the application process and provide additional access for eligible foreign nationals to live and work in Ireland.
