Destination Guide

Ireland offers strong opportunities in banking, financial services, technology, pharmaceuticals, professional services and multinational operations, particularly in Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick. Dublin is the main financial hub and has active communities from around the world. Irish culture is generally friendly and informal, with strong traditions in music, sport, literature and social gatherings. The lifestyle combines city amenities with easy access to beaches, countryside and historic towns, although housing and rent in Dublin can be expensive. Citizens of the EU, EEA and Switzerland can work without a visa. Non-EEA nationals normally need an employment permit and, depending on nationality and circumstances, an entry visa. A Critical Skills or General Employment Permit may apply, subject to the role, salary and eligibility requirements. Secure accommodation early, budget carefully and check official Irish immigration guidance before relocating.
