What to Prepare Before Your First Consultation

What to Prepare Before Your First Consultation

To make the most of your free introductory call with Work Permits Ireland, it helps to come prepared. While you don’t need to have everything perfect, having a few key details ready will help us assess your situation accurately and offer the best advice.

1. If You’re an Employee or Individual Applicant:
We recommend having the following ready (or at least an idea of them):

  • A job offer from an Irish employer (or details of an offer in progress)
  • Your passport or national ID (even just knowing expiry dates is useful)
  • Your CV or employment history
  • Details of your qualifications or degrees
  • Any current immigration status (if you’re already in Ireland)
  • Your target start date for the job

Tip: If you’re not sure whether your job qualifies, just bring what you have — we’ll help figure it out.

2. If You’re an Employer:
Try to have the following available or noted:

  • The job title and description for the role you’re hiring for
  • The salary you intend to offer
  • Whether you’ve hired non-EEA workers before
  • Your company registration number (CRO or RBN)
  • Your desired start date for the employee

This helps us determine if the role meets permit eligibility requirements, and whether a Labour Market Needs Test may apply.

3. If You’re a Spouse, Partner, or Family Member:
It helps to know:

  • The name and permit type of the person you’re joining
  • Whether you’re already in Ireland or planning to relocate
  • Your relationship to the permit holder (married, de facto, dependent child, etc.)
  • Any current visa or residency permission you hold

4. General Questions You Might Want to Ask:
We’re happy to answer questions like:

  • “Do I qualify for a Critical Skills or General permit?”
  • “Can my partner work too?”
  • “What happens if my application is refused?”
  • “How long will the process take?”
