  2. Update to eligibility requirements for Stamp 4 upgrades
Previous Next

On 15 November 2023, Immigration Delivery Service (ISD) placed a web notice regarding the cessation of the provision of Stamp 4 support letters by the Department of Enterprise, Trade, and Employment.

The web notice is here: Notice regarding Stamp 4 support letters.

Eligibility for a Stamp 4 upgrade has been under review by ISD since the effective date of this change to the application process.

This review has since concluded with the below-listed change to eligibility now effective.

Employees residing in the State on a Stamp 1 or 1H permission are eligible for a Stamp 4 upgrade upon completion of 21 months from commencement of employment in the State, on the basis of:

(i) a Critical Skills Employment Permit
(ii) a Hosting Agreement as a Researcher
(iii) a Multi-Site General Employment Permit as a Non-Consultant Hospital Doctor

Or, upon completion of 57 months from commencement of employment in the State on the basis of:

(iv) General Employment Permits

Please Note:

  • In determining eligibility, categories (iv) is not interchangeable with (i), (ii), and/or (iii).
  • The documents required at registration have not changed.
  • Commencement of employment in the State on the basis of an employment permit will be determined via an ‘Employment Detail Summary’, available on revenue.ie/myaccount.
  • Where individuals commenced employment under an alternative permission and subsequently moved to a Stamp 1, commencement of employment on the basis of an employment permit will be determined by the validity dates of the employment permit under which the Stamp 1 permission was registered.
