Post-Study Work Visa

The Third Level Graduate Programme is Ireland's official post-study work pathway for non-EEA graduates. It grants Stamp-1G immigration permission with full-time work rights (up to 40 hours per week) – no job offer required to apply.
◉ Bachelor's Degree: 12 months
◉ Master's Degree: 24 months
Note: You must apply within 6 months of completing your course, and your degree must be from a TrustEd Ireland-marked institution.

Pathway to Long-Term Settlement: Graduates who secure a skilled job can apply for a Critical Skills Employment Permit (minimum salary €32,000), which leads to Stamp 4 residency in approximately 21 months – giving the right to live and work in Ireland without a work permit.
