Know Your Rights > Working In Ireland As A Non-EU/EEA National
Working in Ireland as a non-EU/EEA national
The majority of workers in Ireland who are from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) do so on temporary forms of permission to work. There are currently two types of employment permits: The Work Permit and the Green Card (previously the Working Visa/Work Authorisation scheme). Workers from within the EU/EEA do not need permission to work in Ireland. There are also other types of migrant workers in Ireland, for example overseas non-EEA students registered in certain approved courses who can work up to twenty hours per week. The Employment Permits Act 2006 has been enacted and new arrangements now apply to all applications received by the Employment Permits Section of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (DETE) from 1st February 2007.
