Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 June 2004
538 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the procedures that have to be adopted by a person who wishes to come here from the USA (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17898/04]
View answerIf the person concerned is a US citizen he will not require a visa to enter the State. If he intends to remain in Ireland for longer than 90 days, he must register with the Garda and obtain permission to remain in the State. Depending on his individual circumstances, it may be that he is eligible for the work authorisation scheme which applies in respect of certain categories of professionals whose skills are in short supply. Otherwise it is likely that it will be necessary for a potential employer to obtain a work permit on his behalf. Information on employment permits is available on www.entemp.ie.
