Hello,
I am looking dairy farming job in Ireland.Can I have sponsor those who provide me farming job in Ireland?

Hi Kaydolz,

Yes, you should be able to apply for a direct family member, as per the following resource, which state:

Permit holders can apply for immediate family reunification from the Irish Naturalisation & Immigration Service of the Department of Justice and Equality and once their dependants/partners/spouses are resident in the State they are eligible to seek any employment and apply to the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation for a Dependant/Partner/Spouse Employment Permit which is currently issued free of charge.

Hopefully you and your family arrive safely soon!

Cheers,

Luke

Hi Deepa,

Unfortunately I don't think farming jobs fall under the critical skills criteria for applying for a job in Ireland at present.

Hopefully you can make it here some day, please keep an eye on the Irish Govt guidelines in case things change in future.

Kind Regards,

Luke

Thanks Luke,

We have made our application and keeping fingers and toes crossed.
With the pandemic the processing timelines are not so great but we'll see.

Warm regards
Dolly
