Ireland’s NEW Work-Permit Salary Break for Recent Grads (2026)🚨

Описание: If you studied in Ireland, this is huge. From March 1, 2026, minimum salaries go up… except for recent graduates (Level 8+ from an Irish institution, within 12 months of graduation).

What changes:
• Standard General Employment Permit: €36,605 → Recent Grad: €34,009
• Standard Critical Skills: €40,904 → Recent Grad: €36,848
• 12-month window only after graduation (miss it and you’re back to the higher band).

Why this matters:
Landing €41k as a fresher is tough. This “Recent Graduate” band gives you a pricing edge when employers say “permits are too expensive.” Your reply: “As a recent Irish graduate, the threshold for my permit is lower.”

Your 3-step plan:

Apply early—do not wait until your Stamp 1G is expiring.

Use the line in interviews (quote the lower band).

Target roles on the HSEOL list (Critical Skills = faster PR pathway).
