Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 December 2020
133. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the procedure to be followed to obtain an up to date work permit by a person (details supplied) who previously held the holder of a work permit; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43396/20]
View answerThere does not appear to be a current employment permit application for the named person (details supplied).
An application for an employment permit by the named person will be considered should such an application be made, subject to the application fulfilling all relevant criteria.
A person who entered the State, initially on a valid employment permit but who has fallen out of the employment permit and immigration system through no fault of their own, may be eligible to apply for a Reactivation Employment Permit subject to certain qualifying criteria.
Details on how to apply for an employment permit are available on my Department's website at the following link - https://dbei.gov.ie/en/What-We-Do/Workplace-and-Skills/Employment-Permits/
In order to assist with the application process, the Department has produced a suite of information including various checklist documents, a ‘User Guide' to our online application system and a comprehensive FAQ Document which answers the most common queries received regarding employment permits. All this information can be found in the Employment Permit section of my Department’s website at www.enterprise.gov.ie.
