Understanding the Irish Work Permit System

As a chef recruitment agency, we often receive interest from chefs from outside both the European Union and the United Kingdom looking to work as a chef in Ireland. Very often, the curriculum vitae and backgrounds of the applicants are very strong. Yet, very often we cannot offer them any assistance whatsoever. Why is this, you might ask? The answer is straightforward: unless they hold a European Union passport or, should I say, a passport from a European Union nation state, or a United Kingdom passport (thanks to the Common Travel Area), they do not have an automatic right to work in the Republic of Ireland. For more information, you can visit the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) website.

You’d assume, wouldn’t you, that any recruitment scammer or shakedown merchant wouldn’t want you to pause, for long enough, while reading his  “job pitch” to wonder to yourself about the peculiarities of their fictional name.
