IRELAND
COUNTRY PROFILE
Historically Ireland has not received any significant
migration inflows. Ireland has a long history of emigration
that extends back to Famine times. There have been a small
number of Jewish refugees who fled to Ireland in the 19th and
early 20th century.
Up until recently the only immigration that has been
experienced by modern Ireland consisted of small controlled
refugee movements, and the settlement of now established
minorities such as the Italian and Chinese communities.
The first two refugee groups to arrive in Ireland were the
Hungarians and Chileans under unilateral agreements with
the UN. Follows by Iranian and Bosnians
Asylum Seekers
An asylum seeker is a person who arrives spontaneously in
the State and asks to be recognized as a refugee under the
1951 Convention and 1967 Protocol.

VISAS FOR IRELAND
Visit visas:
Applying for an Irish tourist visa to enter the
Republic on a temporary basis allows foreign visa
nationals to visit Ireland for a period of no longer
than three months.
When the three-month period expires, applicants
must return to their country of residence.
These temporary immigration services do not permit
applicants to work and are issued on the basis that
candidates will return to their home country.
Long term visas for Ireland:
In Ireland, work visa applications fall into one of three
categories, the Irish work permit, The Irish Green Card and
the Intra Company Transfer or ICT.
Irish work permit functions as a long-term immigration
route designed to allow Irish companies to employ foreign
nationals to perform a specific job.
In the same way, Irish Intra Company Transfers follow the
same principle as UK ICT's, designed specifically to allow
a company to transfer the skills and experience of staff from
a foreign branch or subsidiary for an agreed period in order
to undertake a specific position or project.
Studying in Ireland:
In Ireland, immigration for the purposes of study is catered for
specifically; an Irish student visa allows a candidate to study in
Ireland for the duration of their course.
Like a working permit for Ireland, study visa applications
require an offer, in this case, of a place on a full time course of
study, to be pre-arranged.
However, with the introduction of the Graduate Program, some
applicants may be able to switch to a permit for work subject to
receiving a qualifying offer of employment, and remain in
Ireland beyond the expiry of the student permit.
Spouse immigration and Dependent immigration:
Family immigration to Ireland is permitted for the spouse
and/or dependent children of a primary applicant relocating to
Ireland.
Relatives moving to Ireland through this type of family visa
class are generally granted leave to remain in Ireland which
matches the duration of that awarded to the principle
applicant.
In addition, these candidates may apply for a spousal work
permit or dependent work permit allowing them to seek and
undertake employment during their time in the country.
