A Stamp 3 immigration permission allows the holder to stay in Ireland for a specified period, subject to conditions, and is reckonable as residence when applying for citizenship by naturalisation. It is renewable, subject to the conditions for the permission being met, one of which is that the holder cannot work or engage in any business, trade or profession.
In order for a non-EEA national on a Stamp 3 immigration permission to be allowed to work in the State they must apply for and be granted an employment permit by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (DETE). A prospective employer must first obtain an employment permit in respect of them.
Should they be successful in securing the appropriate employment permit from DETE, they will then be able to register on a Stamp 1 immigration permission with their local registration office.
Further information relating to employment permits can be found at: www.enterprise.gov.ie.
It may also be open to the person concerned to request a change to their immigration status. Further information can be found on my Department's immigration website at: www.irishimmigration.ie/my-situation-has-changed-since-i-arrived-in-ireland/.
