No More New Applications to Change Jobs
From 2 September 2024, the process changes for Critical Skills Employment Permit holders. You no longer need to submit a new application when changing jobs. This simplifies the job transition process for permit holders.
Smoother Job Transition
The new rules make job switching faster. No delays from a permit re-application. This gives workers greater flexibility in their careers. You can switch roles within your industry without waiting for permit approvals. Employers benefit too by hiring quickly.
Who Benefits?
Current permit holders see the most benefit. You can move jobs within the same employment category. Further more, you still need to inform authorities of your job change. This keeps records up to date. But the stressful re-application process disappears.
What You Need to Do
Notify the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment about your job change. Provide details of your new employer. In addition, the employer must still meet eligibility rules for the permit. The process aims to be quick and hassle-free.
Greater Career Mobility
These changes make the Critical Skills Employment Permit more attractive. Workers can explore better job offers or career growth. The changes also boost Ireland’s appeal for international talent. They signal a move towards a more flexible employment system.
Take advantage of this policy to maximize career opportunities. Keep employers informed and be prepared with the necessary documents.
