How does the post-study work permit and PR process work in Ireland, including skill visa application for a Master's?

Yes, Ireland offers a clear path from post-study work to permanent residency (PR) for international students.

- Post-Study Work Permit (Stamp 1G): After completing a master's degree, you can stay and work full-time in Ireland for up to 24 months without an employment permit. - Employment Permits: To continue working after Stamp 1G, you need a work permit. The Critical Skills Employment Permit is preferred for high-demand jobs and can lead to PR in 2 years. The General Employment Permit leads to PR in 5 years. - Permanent Residency (Stamp 4): After holding the appropriate employment permit for the required period, you can apply for PR, allowing you to live and work in Ireland without restrictions.

Visa rules and eligibility criteria are subject to change.
