Destination Guide

Ireland offers opportunities in logistics, technology, finance, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, customer service and administration, with many international employers based around Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick. Irish workplace culture is generally approachable, collaborative and respectful, although punctuality, clear communication and dependable performance are valued. Lifestyle benefits include scenic coastlines, lively towns, strong cultural traditions and good access to outdoor activities. Rent and accommodation can be expensive, especially in Dublin, so researching housing and commuting options is important before moving. EU, EEA and Swiss nationals can work without an employment visa. Non-EEA citizens generally need an eligible job offer and the appropriate employment permit before starting work; permit rules depend on the role, salary and nationality.
