The full guide
The General Employment Permit is Ireland's broad, lower-salary-bar work permit — the trade-off for the lower bar is that most roles need a Labour Market Needs Test (LMNT) first, proving no suitable EEA/UK candidate was available. It's employer-led throughout: your employer applies, not you, and the permit is tied to that specific job and employer for the first 12 months.
Cost: €500 (permits of 6 months or less) or €1,000 (6-24 months); 90% refunded if the application is refused
