Hello all,

I'm trying to clarify one point about Critical Skills Employment Permit Application, have searched www.djei.ie website (links below) but could not find an answer. Question is; Given my profession is on the list, is a job offer necessary before i can apply for CSEP, i mean can i apply for the permit without an offer? There are some websites saying an offer is required but since these regulations change almost yearly i wanted to make sure, also guide on this site (https://www.expat.com/en/guide/europe/i … eland.html) also says "Foreign nationals wishing to settle in Ireland for professional purposes can apply for a green card at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, provided that they have a work contract or a valid job offer beforehand." but this post seems to be outdated since CSEP replaced Green Card permit.

I'd be more than glad if you could also refer to a government web site with your answers/replies.

Thank you

Regards

The answer is NO. Primary requirement for applying for work permit is the employeers' contract. Please see criteria for eligibility section in this link.
