What is it? #

  • Individuals who wish to re-enter employment in Ireland under lawful conditions.

Timeline #

Processing times vary depending on the applicant’s situation and the Department’s case load.

What to Expect #

  • A chance to return to legal work in Ireland.
  • Applications are considered on a case-by-case basis.
  • Provides stability and protection for workers who fell out of the system.
