The Employment Permits Online System (EPOS) allows applicants for Employment Permits and Trusted Partner Registrations to apply, make payments and submit supporting documentation online. The step by step User Guide (also available in the footer information of the system) includes the documentary requirements for each application type.
The online application system for employment permits brings a number of significant benefits:
Please submit applications online to avail of these benefits. The department welcomes your feedback on the online process. If you have any comments or issues you can email us at the dedicated email epos@enterprise.gov.ie
An application for any employment permit MUST be received at least 12 weeks before the proposed employment start date.
A contract of employment signed by both parties MUST be submitted with each application.
Use the appropriate checklist to help with your permit application:
If an application is required to be made manually for either Trusted Partner Registration or for an Employment Permit, please email epforms@enterprise.gov.ie and request specific Application Form by Employer type in the subject bar of the email, that is, TP Critical Skills/TP Intra-Company Transfer New or SE Critical Skills/SE Intra-Company Transfer New.
