Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 July 2022
89. Deputy Chris Andrews asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if a critical skills employment applicant (details supplied) will be provided with a reference letter to assist their Irish residence permit application. [35532/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Employment Permits Section of my Department informs me that an application has been received in respect of the person concerned, requesting a Stamp 4 support letter from the Department.
In order to receive a Stamp 4 support letter from the Department, an individual is required to be in continuous employment in the State on a Critical Skills Employment Permit for a minimum period of 21 months and to be in receipt of the remuneration as specified on the Critical Skills Employment Permit held by them.
The Employment Permits Section of my Department informs me that in the case of the person concerned, while the application is in order and the required documentation has been received, they will not reach the required 21 months continuous employment in the State until 11 July 2022. They are therefore not eligible for a Stamp 4 Letter until 12 July 2022. The application has been put on hold until this date.
