There are two categories of occupations
under which the Green Card Scheme can be applied for:
•
The annual salary is EUR 60,000 a year or more (excluding
bonuses). In this case, the Green Card Permit is available
for all occupations, other than those which are contrary
to the public interest.
•
The annual salary is EUR 30,000 - EUR 59,999 (excluding
bonuses). In this case, the Green Card Permit is only
good for a restricted number of strategically
important occupations.
To receive a Green Card Permit, an individual must
have a job offer from a bona-fide company registered
with the Companies Registration Office and the Revenue
Commissioners. The company must be trading in Ireland.
The offer must be on company-headed paper, dated within
the previous sixty days, and the offer must be for a
period of two or more years.
The offer must specify the following:
•
A full description of the proposed employment
•
Starting date of employment
•
Annual salary, not including bonuses
•
Information on required qualifications, skills or experience
required for the employment
