Five notes on Irish green card permission

Five notes on Irish green card permission:

1, application object requirements:

Green card holders are usually required to do the work specified in the work permit for the designated employer. The salary level of employees must reach one of the following categories:

(1), with an annual salary of over 60,000 euros. Green card permits can be used for all occupations except those that violate the public interest.

(2) The number of important occupations with strategic significance is limited, and the annual salary is between 30,000 and 59,000 euros.

2. Unlimited renewal fee.

The green card license is valid for 2 years for the first time, and can usually be extended indefinitely afterwards. This means that the green card license can be extended once and for all.

Don't jump ship in the first year.

Immigration agencies do not encourage changing jobs within the first year after obtaining a green card. They usually expect green card holders to work for their former employers for at least 1 year (unless there are special circumstances). After working in the former employer for 1 year, this person can change his employer and need to apply for a green card permit again.

4. Benefits available to spouses and family members

If the spouse or family member with a green card work permit has legally resided in Ireland, they can apply for a work permit, and the employer does not need to conduct a labor market test. Spouses or family members can also apply for a family reunion visa, which is purely for them to live in Ireland with green card holders, not for work purposes.

5. The green card is not equal to the residence permit.
