View answerOnly an employer in the State may apply for work permits. However, skilled workers in certain sectors may apply for working visas or work authorizations. Details of these programmes may be found on my Department's web site at www.entemp.ie. Details of the working visas and work authorization programmes are also available from the Department of Foreign Affairs web site at www.irlgov.ie/iveagh.
