Key Points:

- During this time, you can work full-time (up to 40 hours per week).
- If you secure a job offer from a registered employer, you may be eligible to apply for a General Employment Permit or a Critical Skills Employment Permit, which can lead to longer-term residency.

Eligibility:

- You must have completed a level 8 (honours bachelor’s) or level 9 (master’s) or higher degree from an eligible Irish institution.
- Your visa and immigration status must be in good standing at the time of application.

Application Process:
