Is it possible to get permanent residency (PR) in Ireland after completing my studies?

Yes, you can pursue permanent residency (PR) in Ireland after your studies.

After graduation, you may be eligible for the Third Level Graduate Programme (Stamp 1G), which lets you stay and work in Ireland for up to 24 months. During this period, you can seek employment that qualifies for an employment permit.

- Critical Skills Employment Permit: If you secure a highly skilled job, you can apply for Stamp 4 (long-term residency) after 2 years.
- General Employment Permit: For other roles, you become eligible for long-term residency after 5 years of employment.

Once you hold Stamp 4 for the required period, you can apply for permanent residency. Visa and residency rules are subject to change.
