The Employment Permits Section of the Department informs me that there is no record of a new application for a Critical Skills Employment Permit in respect of the person concerned (in the details supplied) having been received.
However, I have also been informed that the person concerned in the details supplied was granted a Critical Skills Employment Permit on 08/03/2021 which was valid up to 07/03/2023 and that the person concerned was issued with a Stamp 4 Support Letter from the Department on 03/05/2023 to enable them to apply for Stamp 4 permission from the Department of Justice. Once that is obtained, they will not require an employment permit in order to be employed in the State.
