IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? Ireland will begin piloting a Trusted Partner Scheme, an accreditation program for certain companies in Ireland.
What does the change mean? Participants in the scheme will have a far more streamlined application process.
Background: The Trusted Partner Scheme will be piloted by the end of this year, with an official start date to be determined. Once accredited, participating companies will not have to provide as much information or an employer signature and will benefit from faster processing times.
BAL Analysis: The program will be welcomed by businesses as a fast-track process that reduces administrative and documentary burdens and speeds up employment permit processing.
