The Employment Permits Section of my Department inform me that on 14th March 2022 the Critical Skills Employment Permit application submitted for the person concerned (details supplied) was withdrawn.

I understand that the application was withdrawn as it would not meet the criteria required for a Critical Skills Employment Permit.  The Employment Permits Section of my Department understand that it is intended that a new application for a General Employment Permit will be submitted in due course.

A Checklist Document has been prepared to assist applicants when applying for a General Employment Permit and this document is available on my Department's website and can be accessed through this link:-.
