Course Description

Ireland is the English speaking gateway to the EU and its work permit system reflects its ambition to attract the best global talent. The two main permits are the Critical Skills Employment Permit (CSEP) for high demand professions and the General Employment Permit (GEP) for broader hiring. The difference in processing speed, salary requirements, and family rights between these two permits is enormous, and understanding which one a client needs is the first thing you learn in this course.
