For an individual in the State on a Stamp 1 immigration permission based on holding a general employment permit, they are only permitted to be employed in the State by the employer named on their employment permit, in the occupation listed and in the location(s) specified on their permit. Any employment outside the terms specified on the holder's employment permit is not permitted.
If it is the case that an individual is working in the same role under the same employer and the company changes name or is subject to a takeover, the applicant should provide documentary evidence of the takeover/name change when submitting their application for renewal.
If a person has any queries relating to their immigration permission or renewal, they can contact the registration office using my Departments Customer Service Portal. The Customer Service Portal can be accessed at the following link:portal.irishimmigration.ie/en/

* A Critical Skills Employment Permit
* A Hosting Agreement as a Researcher
