Key Policy Drivers, the Actus Approach
     The Actus approach is to key into government policy regarding work based immigration status and economic
     development within the Irish State. In this regard we keep up to date with the activities and statements of the
     Department of Enterprise, the IDA, Forfas, regional government policy and development drives and other relevant
     State agencies.
     Investment into Ireland always presents a strong argument when seeking the grant of an employment permit.

 A brief example of arguments used would include:
     The IDA’s assertion that Ireland holds a strategic value in the location of headquarter functions (global, European
     and EMEA), specifically naming “knowledge functions” such as supply chain
     management, procurement, marketing, finance professionals, ICT and bio- medical skills, as areas they wish to
     attract.
     The Irish Enterprise Strategy group focus on the need for the development of R&D capacity within Ireland coupled
     with strong sales and marketing skills. Expert Group on Future Skills Needs and Forfás discuss the need for
     Internationally Traded Services (ITS) and highlight skills shortages in the areas of management, technical and
     ICT, marketing and languages:
           “Ireland has the opportunity to encourage investment in European Headquarter activities, both from
           established companies, and from those at an early stage of accessing European markets... [incorporating] ...
           intellectual property management, global or international procurement, financial shared services, HR, legal
           and paralegal shared services, administration, marketing and sales.
           Ireland can leverage its existing manufacturing, logistics and supply chain capabilities to offer services to
           industries seeking a first foothold into Europe. This involves targeting US companies, in particular, that have
           been successful in their own markets, and are well financed.”
Permit Types (Green Cards)
Work Based Immigration Status
   Personnel entering employment in Ireland from outside the European Union/ European Economic Area will require a
   permit from the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment. The categories of permits available are detailed
   below.
Green Cards
   Green Cards are designed to facilitate the entrance of professionals and highly skilled personnel into Ireland. To apply
   for a Green Card you must satisfy the following criteria:
 You must hold a job offer from a bona-fide employer registered with the Irish Companies Registration Office, the Irish
   Revenue Commissioners and trading in Ireland.
   The job offer must be on company headed paper, dated within the previous 60 days and must be for a period of twenty
   four months or more.
   You must hold a recognised professional qualification or degree relevant to the job.
 The job must have either:
 An annual gross basic salary of €60,000 or over, or
 An annual gross basic salary in the range of €30,000 - €59,999 and be in a recognised skill shortage area: ICT
   professionals, health care professionals and associate professionals, professional engineers and
   technologists, researchers and natural scientists, business and financial professionals and associate
   professionals, specialist managers.
Permit Types (Intra Company Transfer)
    Irish Intra Company Transfer Permits (ICT) are designed to facilitate the temporary transfer of senior managerial, key
    personnel and trainees who are non EEA nationals, from an overseas branch of a corporation to its Irish branches.
    To apply for an ICT you must satisfy the following criteria:
   The foreign branch of your company must be bona fide and engaged in substantial business in its country of location.
    The link between the business entities must be clearly set out. Employees on ICT Permits may not exceed 5% of the
    total work force of the Irish based firm. Exceptions to this rule may be made for business start ups or in small firms.
   You must earn a minimum of €40,000 gross basic per year.
   You must have worked for a minimum period of twelve months with the overseas company prior to the transfer.
   You should meet the professional or managerial criteria associated with the transfer role.
   Initial ICT permits must be for a period of twenty four months.
Permit Types (Standard Work Permits)
    Work Permits are issued to individuals who have been offered employment in Ireland where the Irish employer has not
    been able to source an employee from within the wider EU / EEA. Work permits are now issued under limited
    circumstances.
    To apply for a work permit you must satisfy the following criteria:
   You must hold a job offer from a bona-fide employer registered with the Irish Companies Registration Office, the Irish
    Revenue Commissioners and trading in Ireland.
   The job offer must be on company headed paper, dated within the previous 60 days.
   The post must have a salary in excess of €30,000 and be business critical.
   You must have the requisite skills, experience and where required qualifications associated with the job.

    The employer must have undergone the statutory labour test: The post must have been advertised for eight weeks on
    the website of FAS, the State employment network, and for three days in the Irish national and local press.

    Please note that the Irish Government have deemed the following job categories ineligible for work permits: clerical
    and administrative posts, general operatives and labourers, operators and production staff, sales staff, drivers, hotel
    and tourism staff (except chefs) childcare staff, craft workers and apprentices.
Spousal and Dependant Work Permits

    Spousal and Dependent Work Permits have been revised by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment to
    allow the spouses and dependents (children over the age of 18) of Work Permit, ICT Permit and Green Card holders
    apply for Spousal/ Dependant work permit.
    These arrangements offer great benefits in that those qualifying may apply for any post and are not subject to the usual
    restrictions affecting work permits. They are also exempt from the usual statutory labour tests.
    Permits issued under this scheme are valid up to the expiry date of the principal work permit. These arrangements offer
    great benefits in that those qualifying may allow for any post and are not subject to the usual restrictions affecting
    work permits. They are also exempt from the usual statutory labour tests. Permits issued under this scheme are valid
    up to the expiry date of the principal work permit.
    To apply for a Spousal dependant work permit you must be either the spouse or dependent child (over the age of
    eighteen) of a principal work permit holder who has one of the following:
   A valid Green Card Permit, or
   A valid work permit of 12 months or more duration, or
    A valid Working Visa issued before the 31st December, 2006, or
    A valid Work Authorisation issued before the 31st December, 2006.
The Start – up Entrepreneur Programme
    As of March 2012 two new visa types – The Entrepreneur programme and the Immigrant Investor programme will be
    launched.

    The Start-up Entrepreneur Programme
    The Start-up Entrepreneur Programme, has been developed to make Ireland more accessible to Non EU/ EEA
    entrepreneurs. The New Programme requests that:
   Migrants have a good business idea in the innovation economy and funding of €75k -this compares with a previous
    minimum investment of €300k.
   No initial job creation targets will be set – this compares to a previous initial job creation of 2.
   Projects will be evaluated by an Evaluation Committee with State Agencies playing a key role in “picking winners” or
    those who demonstrate a good idea or the potential to be a winner.
The Immigrant Investor Programme
     Approved participants in the Investor Programmes and their immediate family members will be allowed enter the
    State on multi-entry visas and to remain here for a defined period. Ordinarily this will be for a period of 5 years –
    reviewable after 2 years.


    The sort of investments envisaged will include:
   A specially created low interest Government Bond
   Capital investment in an Irish business – which may need it for the protection or creation of jobs, or in some cases the
    purchase of property – including that held by NAMA.
   Endowments in the cultural, sporting educational or health areas will also be considered.
   The level and duration of financial commitment required from the Investor will depend on the nature of the
    investment but will generally range from €400,000 for endowment-related investments to €2 million in the new
    Immigrant Investor low-interest bearing Government Bond to be devised by NTMA in conjunction with the
    Immigration authorities. The funds in this Bond will be held by NTMA and, as is the case with other similar financial
    products, they will be available for the benefit of Ireland.
   The level of investment in business entities where jobs are being created or saved will generally be €1 million and the
    Department will be guided by and reliant upon the advice and expertise of IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland in
    assessing individual proposals.
Business Visas & International Visa Services
    Business visit visas are issued to individuals who require to enter Ireland for a limited period of time
    for business or training reasons.
    To apply for a business visit visa you must satisfy the following criteria:
   Your employer must validate and evidence the trip.
   Your employer should also confirm that you will be returning to that employment following the visit.
   There must be a prior and bona fide link between both sending and host companies involved in the
    visit.
   You must be able to evidence that the full costs of the visit are covered.

areas for Irish business. Through partner agencies we offer a full suite of immigration services for the US
and Australia. We also directly service visa applications where required world wide. Where required our

  • 5. Key Policy Drivers, the Actus Approach The Actus approach is to key into government policy regarding work based immigration status and economic development within the Irish State. In this regard we keep up to date with the activities and statements of the Department of Enterprise, the IDA, Forfas, regional government policy and development drives and other relevant State agencies. Investment into Ireland always presents a strong argument when seeking the grant of an employment permit. A brief example of arguments used would include: The IDA’s assertion that Ireland holds a strategic value in the location of headquarter functions (global, European and EMEA), specifically naming “knowledge functions” such as supply chain management, procurement, marketing, finance professionals, ICT and bio- medical skills, as areas they wish to attract. The Irish Enterprise Strategy group focus on the need for the development of R&D capacity within Ireland coupled with strong sales and marketing skills. Expert Group on Future Skills Needs and Forfás discuss the need for Internationally Traded Services (ITS) and highlight skills shortages in the areas of management, technical and ICT, marketing and languages: “Ireland has the opportunity to encourage investment in European Headquarter activities, both from established companies, and from those at an early stage of accessing European markets... [incorporating] ... intellectual property management, global or international procurement, financial shared services, HR, legal and paralegal shared services, administration, marketing and sales. Ireland can leverage its existing manufacturing, logistics and supply chain capabilities to offer services to industries seeking a first foothold into Europe. This involves targeting US companies, in particular, that have been successful in their own markets, and are well financed.”
