I am the Spouse of a Critical Skills Employment Permit holder. I have not arrived in
Ireland. How do I obtain permission to reside and work?
On 6 March, 2019, the requirement to obtain a DPSEP was removed by DBEI. INIS will
grant eligible spouses of CSEP holders permission to reside in this State on Stamp 1G
Conditions without the need to obtain a DPSEP from DBEI.
To obtain your permission, you can attend your local immigration office with your
spouse who is resident in Ireland on the basis of a CSEP. You must provide a copy of the
CSEP. Your local immigration officer will issue eligible persons an Irish Residence Permit
(IRP) on Stamp 1G conditions without the need for a DPSEP. A registration charge of
€300 applies to you.
If you live in Dublin City or County Dublin you will need to attend Burgh Quay
Registration Office to register your permission and receive your Irish Residence Permit.
You must make an appointment to register in Burgh Quay using the online appointment
system.
If you live anywhere in Ireland except for Dublin City or County Dublin you must register
at the Garda Registration Office in your local area. You can find a list of Garda
Registration Offices
