Hi!

I just got an offer from an Irish employer and they are about to process my work permit. My work permit will be under the critical skills visa scheme but my occupation is not in the health sector, it is in engineering.

Do you have idea how long will this take during this time? Also, as far as I know, the company is a Trusted Partner.

Also, the salary is only 36,000 Euro per annum. I have learned that the cost of living in Dublin is quite high. Do you think i will struggle on this salary? I am single.

Thanks! I am actually excited to relocate in Ireland.

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

The Irish Government website says they are currently turning round Trusted Partner permits in 14 days (link).

Hope this helps.
