The Employment Permits Section of the Department informs me that a Critical Skills Employment Permit application for the person concerned in the details supplied was received on the 28th of August 2024 and the application was placed in the processing queue on the 29th of August 2024.
On the 2nd September, the Critical Skills Employment Permit application was refused, as the minimum annual remuneration on offer was under €64,000 which is a requirement for this permit type if the role on offer is not listed on the Critical Skills Occupations List. The remuneration being offered in this case was €48,000.
A request for a refund of 90% of the fee paid in respect of the application was received on the 16th of September 2024 and has been processed.
