1. Differences between skilled immigrants and investment immigrants in Ireland

Ireland, a western European country, faces the Atlantic Ocean in the west, the Irish Sea in the east and Britain across the sea. Ireland is the gateway from North America to Europe. The Irish belong to the Celts and are descendants of the residents of continental Europe. Ireland is a parliamentary republic. In addition, Ireland is a member of the European Union, Council of Europe, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the World Trade Organization and the United Nations. Ireland's economy is among the best in Europe. It is also one of the countries with rapid economic development in the world, and has won the reputation of "European Tiger" because of its developed economy. Ireland is adjacent to Britain and is similar to Britain in language, education system, medical care, life culture and so on. Ireland's immigration threshold is lower than that of Britain, and Ireland is also a member of the European Union, which is not affected by Britain's withdrawal from the EU.

It is worth mentioning that the official language of Ireland is Irish and English is the second language.

If you want to immigrate to Ireland, you are welcome to immigrate in two ways: skilled immigration and investment immigration.

First, skilled immigrants.

Ireland's skilled migration policy is simple and direct. Basically, as long as you find a local employer to admit you, you can apply for a work visa by yourself or your employer and renew it for five years. After living for a certain period of time, you are eligible to apply for naturalization and become a local citizen.

Generally speaking, you need to pay attention to the following points when applying for a general work permit visa in Ireland, unless you are engaged in a profession where local talents are in short supply:

Employers must pass the market labor demand test to prove that they have failed to hire suitable personnel in Ireland and countries in the European Economic Area.

The annual salary must reach 30,000 euros. Converted into RMB about 250,000.

The visa is valid for 2 years and can be renewed for another 3 years, after which you can apply for long-term residence or naturalization.

Some occupations are not allowed to apply for a work visa, including hotel manager, restaurant manager, real estate agent manager, social worker, psychological counselor, fitness instructor and so on.

Second, invest in immigration.

If you don't want to work in Ireland, you can also consider the local investment immigration plan. The conditions for investment/entrepreneurship immigration to Ireland are as follows:

The net asset value reached 2 million euros.

Invest 6,543,800 euros in locally recognized enterprises or investment projects; If it is a local house, the investment must reach 2 million euros.

Hold the investment in these projects for 3 years.

Live one day a year.

To apply for immigration to Ireland through IIP, the applicant does not need to pass the language education requirements, and does not need to invest before approving the application. The advantage is that the approval is fast, and the result can be known in 6 months at the earliest.

Principal applicant:

At least 18 years old

Non-EU citizens

No criminal record certificate

Investment projects must be approved by the Irish government.

Subsidiary applicant:

/kloc-children under 0/8 years old

In fact, there is another way to invest in immigrants called donating immigrants, that is, donating 6,543,800 euros to Irish charities. But once the money is donated, it can't be collected.

According to the policy, citizens of non-EU countries can obtain residence permit in Ireland by donating 500,000 euros to Irish welfare undertakings, refusing to return them or investing at least 65,438+0,000 euros in domestic enterprises for at least three years. This is also a Stamp4 visa, second only to Irish citizens.

Either way, if you want to become an Irish citizen and get an EU passport, you need to meet the following conditions:

He has been living in mob5 for the past 9 years.

2. Matters needing attention and advantages of Irish immigrants

I. Matters needing attention for Irish immigrants

Ireland * is still relatively humanized, and the way to obtain Irish immigration status is not limited to personal channels. Applicants can choose to invest in enterprises, funds, trusts and donations. In the past, the Irish government treated these methods equally, but now the situation has changed a little.

2. Capital reserve should be done well.

Immigrating to Ireland requires a lot of money, and it must be all real self-owned funds. In the past few years, there have been institutions in the market to help applicants provide financing or loans, but this mode of operation is no longer feasible. Ireland * makes it clear that applicants who immigrate to Ireland by any means must hold free funds, and any use of financing or loans will be rejected.
