Every figure, traced to its source
These are the official Irish government pages our checker, timelines and guidance are built on. Everything on askmanavi mirrors these sources, but the government sites are always the authoritative record, so we link you straight to them.
Employment permits
The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (DETE) runs Ireland's employment permit system, including the occupation lists and salary thresholds our checker uses.
Occupation lists
The two official lists that decide which permit a role can access. Our Critical Skills and Ineligible pages mirror these, but the government pages are authoritative.
Apply & track
Applications are made and tracked on the government's own online system, and processed strictly in date order of receipt.
Immigration, Stamp 4 & family
Immigration Service Delivery (ISD) handles visas, residence permissions (stamps), family reunification and registration.
Irish citizenship
Naturalisation is handled by ISD. You can check your reckonable residence with the official calculator before you apply.
Department Help Desk
Most people don't know that ISD runs a free online Customer Service Portal, where you register one account to check your application's live progress, ask ISD questions directly, upload documents and book your registration appointment, instead of waiting on hold or posting blindly.
