Can I stay back in Ireland after studies?


Yes, you can stay back in Ireland after your studies under the Third Level Graduate Programme (Stamp 1G), which allows international students who have completed certain qualifications to remain in Ireland for a specific period to seek employment or apply for a work permit.

Here’s how it works:

For Bachelor’s Degree Graduates:


- You can stay back for up to 12 months after graduation.

For Master’s Degree Graduates:


- You can stay back for up to 24 months after graduation.

Key Points:


- This scheme is open to graduates of recognized Irish higher education institutions.
- 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:


- Apply for the Stamp 1G permission before your student visa expires.
- Provide your final results and relevant documentation from your college/university.
