EMPLOYMENT – SETTLEMENT IN IRELAND
Thứ Ba - 16/12/2025
- PART-TIME WORK:
According to Irish government regulations, international students are allowed to work part-time under an Irish study visa, with the following conditions:
- Work up to 20 hours per week during term time;
- Work full-time during holidays such as summer, Christmas, Easter, etc.
Part-time jobs in Ireland are diverse and can help students cover part of their living expenses, especially if you manage your time well to both study and work effectively.
You may consult the Job Vacancies department at your institution, as major universities offer many on-campus job opportunities such as library assistant, teaching assistant, IT lab assistant, student union support, or working in campus cafés… however, these positions are competitive.
In addition, you can take off-campus jobs that many Vietnamese students have done, such as waiter/waitress, kitchen assistant, dishwasher, or bar staff. These jobs often take place in the evenings, so you need good health and time management to avoid affecting your studies.

Ireland is implementing many positive policies to attract Vietnamese students to study and work in this beautiful and promising European country. After graduation, students may extend their visa to remain in Ireland for 12-24 months, specifically:
- Up to 12 months for undergraduate graduates (level 8);
- Up to 24 months for postgraduate graduates (level 9, 10).
During this time, students may work and seek long-term settlement opportunities in Ireland.
Ireland is currently experiencing a significant labor shortage due to rapid economic growth since 2015 while the population remains under 5 million. This shortage has caused starting salaries to rise quickly. In February 2019, according to The Irish Times, 90% of Irish graduates secured employment with an average starting salary of €33,000 per year, compared to €28,000 in July 2017 – an increase of €5,000 in just 1.5 years. Currently, minimum starting salaries are €29,600 per year for bachelor’s graduates, €41,000 per year for master’s graduates, and over €45,000 per year for PhD holders.
Many major global technology and retail companies such as Apple, Intel, Google, Amazon, etc., employ 4,000-6,000 workers each in Ireland. According to the latest report by the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation (DBEI), industries such as information technology, communications, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and financial services remain strong and continue to recruit actively despite the impacts of Covid.
III. SETTLEMENT:
(reference link: http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/inis/pages/long_term_residency)
Foreign nationals who have lived and worked in Ireland with an employment permit for 5 years are eligible to apply for long-term residency in Ireland.
Successful applicants receive a Stamp 4 residence permission, valid for 5 years and renewable.
Additionally, after 8 years of legal residence, you may apply for a residence permission “without condition as to time”.
Who is eligible for long-term residency:
You may apply for long-term residency if you meet the following conditions:
- You have lived legally in Ireland for at least 5 years (60 months). Periods during which you were outside Ireland do not count toward the required residency;
- You reside in Ireland with an employment permit, such as a Work Permit, and have held Stamp 1 or Stamp 4;
- You may apply for an exemption from the work permit requirement, allowing you to work without holding a work permit;
- Not all work permit categories are eligible;
- Your Irish Residence Permit (IRP) is still valid at the time of application;
- You are employed at the time of application and intend to remain employed;
- You have good character.
If you are the spouse or dependent of a long-term resident, you may also apply for long-term residency once you meet the residency requirement (minimum 60 months of legal residence in Ireland). Your family member must already hold Stamp 4 long-term residency before you apply.
As a spouse or dependent, you will receive Stamp 3 and are not exempt from the work permit requirement.
Work permit categories not eligible for long-term residency:
You will not qualify for long-term residency even if you meet the residency duration requirement if:
- You reside in Ireland on a student visa;
- You are in Ireland as an intra-company transferee;
- You are employed at a foreign embassy in Ireland;
- You hold a Working Holiday Visa;
- You only hold a Green Card (Employment Permit) in Ireland;
- You live in Ireland under a business permission;
- You reside under the Turkish Agreement;
- You reside for humanitarian reasons;
- You are a refugee;
- You reside under the IBC or IBC-05 scheme (Irish-born child).
Checklist of documents for long-term residency:
When applying for long-term residency in Ireland, you must submit:
- A copy of your employment permit;
- A copy of your Irish Residence Permit (IRP) or GNIB card;
- A color copy of all passport pages, including all stamps and permissions issued by Irish authorities. If you have had multiple passports since arriving in Ireland, you must include copies of all previous passports containing Irish stamps or residence permissions.
