In either case, work permits will not be considered for any job categories specified in the ineligible job categories list -(http://www.workpermit.com/ireland/ineligible_job_categories.htm).

Work Permit is issued for an initial period of two years and can be renewed for a further three years. The work permit can be issued indefinitely after a period of five years.

A Green Card Permit is an employment permit issued to a person which allows the individual to work in Ireland with the specified employer in an occupation where skills shortages exist. It is issued for an initial period of two years, after which it can normally be renewed indefinitely.The permit allows an individual to apply for immediate family reunification and time spent under the permit can count towards permanent residency.There are two categories of occupations under which the Green Card Scheme can be applied for:

The annual salary is EUR 60,000 a year or more (excluding bonuses). In this case, the Green Card Permit is available for all occupations, other than those which are contrary to the public interest.

The annual salary is EUR 30,000 - EUR 59,999 (excluding bonuses). In this case, the Green Card Permit is only good for a restricted number of strategically important occupations.
