Frequently Asked Questions
The course covers Critical Skills Employment Permit eligibility, occupation assessment, employment requirements, salary conditions, application procedures, permit compliance and the transition to Stamp 4. World Visa Academy focuses on practical case management for immigration consultants and professionals handling Ireland employment-based immigration cases.
Eligibility depends on the occupation, job duties, employment arrangement, qualifications and applicable salary requirements. The role must fall within the relevant Critical Skills framework or meet the applicable criteria for the permit. The applicant and employer must also satisfy the requirements in force when the application is submitted.
Documentation can include the employment contract, job description, employer information, applicant passport details, qualifications and evidence supporting the proposed occupation and salary. Additional documents may be required depending on the application. Professionals should ensure that job duties, occupation classification and supporting evidence are consistent.
The applicant first obtains and maintains a qualifying Critical Skills Employment Permit and lawful residence in Ireland. After satisfying the applicable conditions and required period, the individual can apply for the relevant Stamp 4 permission. Stamp 4 is a separate immigration permission and is not automatically granted solely because a person holds a Critical Skills permit.
The course is suitable for immigration consultants, corporate immigration professionals, recruitment specialists and visa caseworkers. It is particularly useful for understanding occupation assessment, permit applications, employment compliance and Stamp 4 transition while providing clients with accurate guidance without promising employment or immigration approval.
