What is the post-study work permit duration in Ireland for a Master's/PhD?

For Ireland, the post-study work visa (Third Level Graduate Programme, Stamp 1G) duration depends on your qualification:

- 12 months for Level 8 (Honours Bachelor's Degree)
- 24 months for Level 9 (Master's) or Level 10 (PhD)

You can work full-time (up to 40 hours/week) during this period without employer sponsorship. You must complete an eligible Irish program and apply within six months of receiving final results. This visa is a valuable chance to gain Irish work experience after graduation.
