Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment issues all employment permits in an electronic format. This
letter should be held by the employee and presented to immigration officials, along with the electronic version
of the employment permit contained herein, for verification purposes.
A summary of your principal employment rights are also included with this letter.
Please note that this permit relates to employment only and it is not a residence permit or a permission to enter
Ireland. Persons who are nationals of countries that are visa required for travel to Ireland must make a visa
application through www.inis.gov.ie. In the visa application you will be required to submit evidence of your
professional qualifications, if required, as well as evidence of previous work experience, if required.
Visa required and Non-Visa required persons must have at all times:
(a) current appropriate permission from the immigration authorities which allows you to enter, reside and
undertake employment in the State, and
You should notify this office if there is any change in the details supplied by you in respect of this application.
Yours faithfully
Dolores Byrne

Permit No: FGK519RE
This is to certify that the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment permits the employment under
section 3A(2)(c) of the Employment Permits Act 2006 (as amended) of the Foreign National named below.
A person who contravenes section 2 of the Employment Permits Act 2003 (as amended), relating to the
employment of Foreign Nationals, is guilty of an offence.
For Minister
Note: In accordance with section 24(1) of the Employment Permits Act 2006 (as amended) should the Permit Holder named
below, for any reason, cease to be employed by this employer in this employment during the period of validity specified, this
permit and any copies thereof must be returned immediately to the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment.
This permit is issued on the basis that the salary to be paid to the named Foreign National is, at a minimum, the national
minimum hourly rate of pay or a rate of pay provided for in section 12(6)(b) of the Employment Permits Act 2006 (as
amended) as appropriate. Notwithstanding this, this permit is issued on the basis that the named Foreign National is paid
the remuneration specified on this Employment Permit. Section 23 of the Employment Permits Act 2006 (as amended)
prohibits an employer from making any deduction from the Permit Holder’s remuneration or seeking to recover from a
Permit Holder any charge, fee or expense relating to the application for the permit or its renewal and/or recruitment and
travelling expenses in connection with taking up employment in the State. Section 23(3) of the Employment Permits Act
2006 (as amended) prohibits an employer or someone acting on his or her behalf from keeping any personal documents
belonging to the Permit Holder.
If this is the named Foreign National’s first employment permit in the State, a new application may, apart from in
exceptional circumstances, only be made in respect of the named Foreign National after a period of 12 months has elapsed
since he/she first commenced employment in the State.
These statutory rights include (but are not limited to) the following:
• the right to be paid a salary from their employer which is not less than the
statutory minimum wage rates,
• the right to work hours which comply with the maximum working week
requirements,
• the right to receive a minimum amount of breaks and rest periods during
working hours,
All Employers are also required to maintain records in relation to their employees and
their entitlements.
