Employment Permit
Renewal
Overview
An Employment Permit Renewal allows eligible holders to extend an existing General Employment Permit or Reactivation Employment Permit while continuing in qualifying employment. The employer, employee, occupation, remuneration and employment conditions must satisfy the requirements applying when the renewal application is assessed.
This service concerns renewal of the employment permit issued by the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment. It does not renew the holder’s immigration permission or Irish Residence Permit, which is a separate process administered by Immigration Service Delivery.
Applicants who want to renew an Irish work permit should begin preparing before the existing permit expires.
Renewal Requirements
The application should be prepared before the existing permit expires and must demonstrate continued compliance with the relevant permit conditions.
- The holder must remain in eligible employment covered by the existing permit.
- The employer must continue to operate and satisfy the applicable employment-permit requirements.
- The occupation and employment arrangements must remain suitable for renewal.
- The remuneration must meet the current threshold for the relevant permit type.
- DETE may request evidence showing that the employee received the remuneration and employment conditions stated on the existing permit.
- Before submitting the application, identify any material changes affecting the employment.
- A permit renewal does not automatically renew the holder’s immigration permission or IRP card.
