The Employment Permits Sections of my Department inform me that an application for a General Employment Permit for the person concerned was received on 14th April 2018.

A decision was made to refuse the granting of the application on 11th June, 2018, and the applicant has been notified of this decision in writing and of their right to request a review of this decision in line with the provisions of the Employment Permits Acts within 28 days.

This application was refused on the basis that some essential documentation required for the application process was not provided by the applicant and the level of remuneration on offer is less than the minimum amount specified in the Employment Permits Regulations 2017.

A refusal to grant an employment permit does not preclude an applicant from submitting another application for an employment permit. Such an application should comply with all of the legislative requirements pertaining to the particular employment permit type.
