Explore opportunities and prepare for life in Ireland with this guide for Filipino candidates. Available roles depend on employer demand, qualifications and employment-permit eligibility.
Build your career through relevant experience, training and recognised qualifications. Check each vacancy for its requirements; not every occupation is eligible for an employment permit.
Irish employment law provides protections covering pay, working time, rest breaks and leave. Review your written employment terms and consult the Workplace Relations Commission for guidance.
Most non-EEA nationals need an employment permit unless exempt. General and Critical Skills Employment Permits have different eligibility conditions. A permit is separate from any required entry visa and immigration registration. Longer-term permissions depend on the permit type and immigration rules; residency is not guaranteed.
Public healthcare eligibility generally depends on ordinary residence, and charges or other conditions may apply. Budget for housing, healthcare and living costs and seek reputable community support as you settle in.
Review available jobs, confirm qualifications and permits, prepare documents, understand your contract and plan accommodation before travel.
Verify current guidance with Ireland's employment-permit authority, the Workplace Relations Commission, HSE and Irish Immigration.
