Ireland's premium employment permit, issued by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (DETE) for in-demand occupations on the Critical Skills Occupations List. It has no labour-market needs test, allows immediate family reunification, and gives a fast track to Stamp 4 (long-term residence with full work rights) after two years.
DETE's broad-access work permit, covering occupations that are not on the Critical Skills list and not on the Ineligible List of Occupations. A labour-market needs test is normally required, meaning the role must first be advertised to EEA workers.
