How many months or years can I stay in Ireland after graduation for a Bachelor's/Master's?

After graduation in Ireland, your stay-back period depends on your qualification:

- Bachelor’s degree (Level 8): Up to 12 months (1 year) full-time work under the Third Level Graduate Programme (Stamp 1G).
- Master’s degree (Level 9) or PhD (Level 10): Up to 24 months (2 years), typically granted as 12 months initially and extendable by another 12 months if you show active job search.

During this period, you can work full-time without employer sponsorship. To stay longer, you must secure a job and apply for a relevant work permit. These policies are subject to change.
