Working In Ireland As A Foreigner
As an expat looking to work in Ireland, options exist for local employment. However, to start working in Ireland, you will need to find an employer willing to sponsor you and arrange for your work permit.
General Employment Permits are issued by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise, and Innovation, but the position will need to pay US$33,000 to have a permit issued.
And, if a company requires specialized personnel that is not readily available to work in Ireland, for example, it is permitted to hire technical or specialized staff. For this reason, individuals who speak non-EU languages are also given special consideration.
The upside to obtaining a permit is that you can work at your job in Ireland with all the rights citizens of the EU enjoy.

Bringing Your Work To Ireland
One of the best options for work in Ireland is simply to move your current job there. If you are a mobile professional, it’s worth considering making your base in Ireland.
Many web-based and creative businesses have already found a home here alongside other large and established businesses.
