Hi,
I'm confused with the General Employment Permit/IRP renewal process—any help is much appreciated.
As far as my understanding goes, I need to renew my employment permit before I can renew my residence permit (the former expired before the latter). I applied for my employment permit renewal in early January, and I'm still waiting.
The dates on my one-year (PDF) General Employment Permit ran to the end of March...but my IRP is valid until the end of April. Am I unable to work while I wait for the employment permit renewal?
I saw news that permissions were extended until the end of May, but is that just for residence permits? Since I applied for renewal of my employment permit months ago, it doesn't make sense to me that I would be penalised because of delays? That I would be legally resident but not legally employed?
And once my employment permit is finally renewed, I'll need to apply for a new IRP...will I need to leave Ireland if I cannot accomplish that by the end of the May extension period?
I feel like I've done something wrong...but there would not be an issue if it weren't for the delays.
Hopefully I am just confused. Thanks for your help.
