If she can keep trying to get a work permit, and they keep extending her temporary residence, then getting a re-entry visa should be okay right?
She can get only 1 temporary extension. When such any request to INIS is initiated, a Person ID is created for this person (if it hasn't been created previously).
This Person ID gets associated with her GNIB / IRP number, which makes it a unique identifier in their system. Any temporary extension can be issued for only once per Person ID under the same condition.
Regarding the salary requirement for the work permit - I'm not sure how strict it is now, but back when I applied for it in 2013 (shortly before the online system was introduced), the salary requirement was very strict. 30K is a must-have for critical skills. The next year I think they announced some sort of jobs that have a lower requirement of 27K. I'm not sure if this is the case any more or how strict they are.
Based on what you mentioned in the other thread, I don't think you have been cohabiting, but if you do, and if you could prove that you two have a genuine and stable relationship for the last 2 years, and due to get married soon, you could apply for a De-Facto relationship for her. That will get her a Stamp 4 if it is approved. It takes 6 months to apply for this but it's free, so there's no harm trying that. I don't know if INIS would give her a temporary permission during this period.
