Can you please explain about the post-study work permit (PSD) in Ireland?
22 Jun 2026 · Answered by Chaithrakala P L · 1 min read
Yes, Ireland offers a post-study work visa called the Third Level Graduate Programme (Stamp 1G).
- Master’s graduates (Level 9): Eligible for up to 24 months of post-study work permission.
- Bachelor’s (Honours) graduates (Level 8): Eligible for up to 12 months.
- You must complete your degree at a recognized Irish institution and apply within six months of graduation.
- This permission is non-renewable and allows full-time work (up to 40 hours/week) without employer sponsorship.
Rules and durations are subject to change. If you need help with your application or eligibility, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
