    Last Updated: 30 August 2026

    The Ireland Employment Visa is a Long Stay D visa for Bangladeshi nationals and eligible residents of Bangladesh who have been granted an eligible Employment Permit by the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment (DETE) and intend to work in Ireland for more than 90 days. This page covers Employment Visa applications supported by a Critical Skills Employment Permit, General Employment Permit, Intra-Company Transfer Employment Permit, Contract for Services Employment Permit, Exchange Agreement Employment Permit, Internship Employment Permit, or Sports & Cultural Employment Permit.

    Process Roadmap

    Step 1

    Confirm the Permit-Based Employment Category

    Confirm that you hold an eligible DETE Employment Permit for work exceeding 90 days. This Employment Visa page covers standard DETE permit-based cases; Scientific Researcher, Van der Elst, and Atypical Working Scheme cases follow separate arrangements.

    Step 2

    Complete AVATS & Print the Summary

    Complete AVATS accurately using “Long Stay (D)” and “Employment”, enter the permit details requested, then print, sign, and date the summary sheets.

    Step 3

    Align the Permit & Employment Evidence

    Check that the permit, contract, and employer letter consistently show the employer, role, salary, start date, duties, and work location.

    Step 4

    Prepare Finances & Supporting Records

    Provide qualification and work-history evidence, 6-month finances, residence records, civil documents, previous refusal records, translations, and other applicable supporting evidence.

    Step 5

    Follow the Submission Instructions

    Follow the AVATS directions. Bangladesh residents may submit by post to the Embassy of Ireland in New Delhi or by appointment at the Ireland Visa Application Centre in Kolkata.

    Step 6

    Pay Fees & Submit the File

    Submit the signed AVATS summary, passport, supporting documents, required copies, and applicable fees. Embassy submissions require a bank draft in Indian rupees; VFS submissions follow the prescribed VFS payment process.

    Step 7

    Check the Decision & Prepare for Arrival

    If approved, check the visa details, carry the Employment Permit, key job documents, and insurance evidence when travelling, and complete immigration registration after arrival for a stay over 90 days.
