Stamp 2 is granted to non-EEA students who are engaged in courses that are listed on the Internationalisation Register operated by the Department of Education and Science. Students on Stamp 2 are allowed to work in a casual capacity. Non-EEA students who are studying at second level education are among those who are granted Stamp 2A which does not carry with it a right to work. There are no immediate plans to extend the work concession to non-EEA second level students although this matter can be kept under review.
