You can apply and pay for employment permits using the Employment Permits Online System (EPOS). You must hold a valid Employment Permit to work in Ireland as a non-EEA National unless you are exempted.
From 1 January 2020, any employment permit application where a Labour Market Needs Test is required must have published a EURES ad for at least 28 days before a valid application can be submitted.
