In general, a Moldavian national who wishes to migrate to seek employment in the State is subject to the requirements of the Employment Permits Acts 2003 and 2006. However, there are circumstances in which a foreign national present in the State may be eligible to take up employment in the State without the need for an employment permit. These circumstances are, in the main, related to the current immigration status of the person and are generally a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform.

In the absence of further details in relation to the particular circumstances of the case it is not possible to give any further information. However, general information on employment permits is available at the website of my Department (www.entemp.ie). Information concerning immigration matters is available at the website of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (www.inis.gov.ie). Alternatively, the person may wish to contact either of these Departments with regard to his or her particular circumstances.
