- Employment Permit Rule Updates and Salary Thresholds in 2025: What Employers and Employees Need to Know
The Irish Employment Permit system has seen significant changes over the past year, most notably the largest-ever expansion of eligible occupations introduced in January 2024. This change, announced by the Department of Enterprise, Trade, and Employment (DETE), has been widely welcomed by industries facing severe skills shortages. However, these updates have also brought challenges alongside the positive reception—particularly for employers and employees navigating the evolving salary thresholds. A Recap of 2024 Changes: New Opportunities and Challenges The expansion of eligible occupations in 2024 has opened new pathways for professionals across sectors, enabling businesses to address critical workforce gaps. Yet, increasing the minimum salary threshold for employment permits from €30,000 to €34,000 has created obstacles for some employees renewing their permits. Many employers were unprepared for this adjustment, leaving some workers in precarious situations. Future Direct has stepped in with a practical solution for affected individuals: assisting employees in transitioning to Stamp 1 permission, which allows them to continue their employment without an employment permit. While this is a valuable workaround, it disrupts visa stability and adds to the administrative burden for employees and employers. Looking Ahead to 2025: Potential New Salary Thresholds As we approach 2025, there is growing concern about further adjustments to salary thresholds. Employers and employees are bracing for potential changes that could impact recruitment plans, work permit renewals, and visa stability. In 2024, changes were announced on 20 December 2023 and became effective from the 17th of January 2024 , leaving employers and employees with minimal time to react. A similar timeline is expected this year, underscoring the importance of staying informed and prepared. Indicative Salary Threshold for Employment Permit in 2025: What We Know So Far As of now, this is the available information for employment permit salary thresholds in the year 2025: Meat Processing Operatives: Increase from €30,000 to €32,000 on January 25, 2024 . Further increase to €34,000 on July 25, 2024 . Expected to rise to €39,000 in January 2026 . Healthcare Assistants/Home Carers: Initially expected to rise to €30,000 in January 2024, the DETE has decided to maintain the threshold at €27,000 . We are still awaiting updates from the DETE regarding any changes planned for January 2025 . General Employment Permit Holders: The current threshold of €34,000 is expected to increase to €39,000 . Critical Skills Employment Permit: The current threshold of €38,000 is set to increase to €44,000 . The threshold for holders without a relevant degree remains unchanged at €64,000 . Intra-Company Transfers: Trainees : The threshold will rise from €34,000 to €39,000 . Services Contracts : The threshold will increase from €46,000 to €53,000 .

- Essential Travel Information for Non-EEA Nationals With an Expired IRP During Christmas 2024
The holiday season is a time for connection and celebration, but for non-EEA nationals in Ireland, the ongoing backlog in immigration processing has introduced an added layer of complexity. With delays in issuing Irish Residence Permit (IRP) cards, the Department of Justice has announced a Travel Confirmation Notice to help those needing to travel internationally during Christmas. Here’s what you need to know to navigate these temporary arrangements smoothly. Updates for Non-EEA Nationals Processing Delays Immigration services are currently experiencing delays across several locations.

They carry proof of the renewal application (e.g., email confirmation). Documentation for Travel Travellers should ensure they have the following: A printed copy of the Travel Confirmation Notice . Their recently expired IRP card. Proof of their renewal application, such as an email confirmation showing the application date. Notification to Airlines and Authorities The Department has informed airlines and foreign missions about these temporary measures.

Practical Tips for Travelers Download and Print the Travel Confirmation Notice Keep a physical copy of this notice to present to immigration authorities or airlines as needed. Verify Third-Country Travel Requirements If your trip involves transit through another country, research and comply with their visa or immigration rules to avoid complications. Allow Extra Time for Travel As this is a temporary measure, anticipate the possibility of additional checks or delays when presenting your documents. Stay Informed Regularly check the official immigration website or contact the Department for updates on processing times or travel-related announcements.

- Say Goodbye to In-Person Renewals: All IRP Renewals Now Online from November 2024!
Background / What’s New? Beginning 4 November 2024 , the process for renewing Irish Residence Permits (IRPs) and changing stamp categories is shifting entirely to an online system. The Irish Immigration Service Online Portal will handle all renewal applications nationwide, eliminating the need for in-person visits to the Burgh Quay Registration Office in most cases. With this change, the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) will no longer manage IRP renewals, although they will continue to handle first-time registrations for those residing outside of Cork, Dublin, Kildare, Meath, Limerick, and Wicklow. Below are a few information that will be useful after the changes: Renewals and Changes of Stamp Category From now on, if you need to renew your IRP or change your stamp category , you must apply through the Irish Immigration Service Online Portal. Applications are accepted up to 12 weeks before your current IRP card expires, allowing ample time for processing. Key points to remember: Online-only service : Unlike first-time registrations, IRP renewals do not require an in-person visit. Convenience : You can apply from anywhere in Ireland as long as you have an internet connection and the required documents ready. Preparing for Your Online Renewal To streamline your application process, ensure you’re prepared with the following steps before starting your online renewal: Set up an online account : Register on the Irish Immigration Service Online Portal. Gather required documents : Check which documents are needed for your renewal and have digital copies ready. These can be clear scans or photos. Prepare to pay the registration fee : If applicable, the fee is €300, payable by credit or debit card. Once your application is submitted, you’ll receive an automatic confirmation email with your application number and payment receipt details. What Happens After Submission? Applications are processed in the order they are received. The Irish Immigration Service website provides live updates on the current processing dates. After submission, one of the following outcomes will occur: Successful Application : You’ll receive an email confirming your IRP card is on its way, and it should arrive within 15 business days. Further Documentation Required : If more information is needed, you’ll be contacted with details on how to submit additional documents. Unsuccessful Application : An email will outline the reasons for the unsuccessful application, and any fees paid will be refunded within ten business days. IRP Card Delivery to Your Home Address The delivery of IRP cards is now handled directly by ISD, with cards sent straight to your home address by An Post Express Post. It’s crucial to provide a full, accurate address, including the Eircode. If you reside in an apartment block, include your apartment number. If your card has not arrived within 15 days , contact the customer service helpdesk for assistance. ISD will investigate the delay and, if necessary, issue a replacement. With the move to online renewals and direct-to-home card deliveries, the Irish Immigration Service aims to make the process more efficient and user-friendly for all IRP holders.
