If you are looking to launch your career in the Republic of Ireland or relocate through your current employer into the State, then you will need an Employment Permit. Once you have a type of permit, you will then need to meet the Employment Visa requirements in order to successfully and legally reside in the country. If you are a non-EU/EEA national who wants to work in Ireland, you will have to get permission to work from the Irish immigration authorities, ie. obtain an Ireland work permit. In addition, citizens of several countries also have to apply for an Ireland work visa so they can be allowed to enter Ireland in the first place.
