Does Ireland give PR to Indians?

Yes, Ireland gives PR to Indians if they reside in the country for five years or more. Ireland PR brings one step closer to obtaining Irish citizenship. For these five years, the candidate can stay in Ireland for various purposes like study, work, business, etc. Foreign nationals currently residing and working in Ireland with a type of work authorization for five years became eligible for the Ireland Permanent Residence Permit.

 

Different ways to get Ireland PR

Indian nationals can acquire permanent residence in Ireland by living there for at least five years. Here are some other different ways to get Ireland residency:

 

Family

 If any foreign national has permanent residency in Ireland, their family can come to Ireland. If any family member has EU residence cards, the other family member won't need a travel permit.

 

Self-employed Applicants

If any foreign national has sufficient funds, the country allows them to stay if they are financially stable and support themselves. However, the applicant needs to have comprehensive health and travel insurance policies. This is specifically a requisite for those who are pensioners and want to stay in Ireland for the retirement period.

 

Student

An international student who wants to live and study in Ireland needs to meet the following requirements:

 

• Studied through authorised Irish educational institutions
• Have a comprehensive health insurance or travel policy before entering the nation
• Sufficient financial resources to back up their stay in Ireland without the support of the Social Welfare System

 

However, after completing the course, the residency right would be terminated. But if the applicant can get an employment in Ireland, then they can continue to stay in the country.

 

Employment in Ireland

Non-EU citizens can stay in Ireland with work permits with different work permits and reside there for five years to get the PR permit. Critical skill and General Employment Permits are the most common work permits. The Irish government is searching for individuals who work in programming, web design, ICT-related jobs, and more.
