Ireland Trusted Partner Initiative

Overview

Companies and contractors looking to employ overseas citizens may apply for Trusted Partner Status.

Companies that hold trusted partner status are granted privileges that allow their employment permit applications to be processed significantly faster that under the standard permit processing time guidelines. This is of significant benefit to companies who are looking to secure permits for more than one applicant and/or for companies looking to get applicants into Ireland quickly to begin work.

Visa First has worked closely with the DJEI to submit decision ready trusted partner applications for large a number of companies in Ireland since the initiative started.

Benefits

• Decreased permit processing times.
• Status valid for 2 years.
• Reduced paperwork for every permit applied for under the scheme.
• Shortened, company-specific employment permit application forms.
• The initiative extends to all permit types.
