IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? Ireland’s Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation has announced several important updates for employment permits and residence permits.
What does the change mean? General Employment Permits are taking about 10 weeks to process. EU Treaty Rights applications for EU nationals may take six months or more because of high volume. Foreign employees who have updated their Stamp 4 since they lodged an application for a spouse, partner or dependent must forward their new Stamp 4 to the Employment Permits section. In addition, officials have confirmed that the online employment permit application system is expected to launch by September.
BAL Analysis: BAL is monitoring processing times, as well as progress on the launch of the online employment permit system, which will streamline procedures and allow users to get online status updates. The DJEI has committed to having the system online by September.
