The Employment Permits Section of my Department informs me that spouses of Irish or EU nationals may still apply for an employment permit while awaiting the outcome of their application for residency. The current policy in relation to new first time employment permit applications applies. However, the fee is waived in those cases where the following documents are included with the application:

A cover letter indicating that the application is for a non-EEA national married to an EU national.

A copy of the EU spouse's passport pages showing photograph and personal details.

A copy of the marriage certificate/marriage licence.
