What is the change? Ireland’s Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation now requires proof of qualifications of foreign professionals applying for employment permits.
What does the change mean? Foreign professionals are reminded that they must prove that their certification or degree is approved by a relevant Irish professional body. Accountants, for example, must show that their educational degree or membership in an institute of Certified Public Accountants is recognized by one of nine designated Irish bodies.
Background: As of Oct. 1, the DJEI began to require that foreign professionals applying for employment permits demonstrate that their qualifications are recognized by certain designated Irish regulatory bodies or government ministers.
Accountants applying for employment permits must show that their educational degree or membership in an institute for CPAs is recognized by one of the following Irish regulatory bodies:
Association of Chartered Certified Accountants Association of International Accountants Chartered Institute of Management Accountants Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Ireland Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales Institute of Chartered Accountants in Scotland Institute of Incorporated Public Accountants
BAL Analysis: Companies sponsoring accountants and other professionals for Employment Permits are reminded to fulfill these new requirements as part of their applications.
