I'm not sure that's entirely accurate. My first application required a stamp 4 support letter to confirm completion of 2 years on critical skills. Stamp 4 allows me permission to work anywhere without any permit.

Nice to have: Last payslip but they never checked it.
This is how I renewed my stamp4 in garda station recently
Thank you! And for this employer, do I need to show a minimum number of hours worked, salary, etc - you can see how this all gets convoluted with such a requirement with no specific details.littlerr wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 3:51 pmYou will need a letter from the employer to prove that you are either employed or self-employed. It doesn’t matter if the employer is the same one before, but you need to have an employer.
If you want to simply take a career break and don’t work for anyone, you will need to show substantial proof that you are able to support yourself for the next two years and you will not become a burden of the state. In addition, the officer may decide to give you a shorter period of validity or ask for more documents during the renewal process.

1 year. I am on Stamp 4, based on 5 year residency with Stamp. So I get it renewed every year with same documents I mentioned above.branbranbran wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 4:23 pmHow long were each of your permissions extended for?mentalmind wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 12:23 pm- Address proof (utility bills etc)

For Stamp 1 and Stamp 4 for non-EU residents, you must have a reason to stay in Ireland to get residence permit. You are supposed to be employed (own company or some other company) if you are based on work reasons. Otherwise you have to notify the DBEI or Garda and find a job in 6 months or leave Ireland. If your residence permit is supposed to expire in less than 6 months, Garda would extend it for you to 6 months, otherwise you have to find a job or leave. I have always asked & provided letter from my employer when I am due to permit renewal.branbranbran wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 12:28 pmThanks, this is helpful, but I'm still unsure if a "letter from employer" is a required document - stamp 4 enables you to start your own business, and "that you may work" but nothing that says you have to work.
For context, I'm planning on taking a career break and trying out different part time jobs that's supplemented by some money I came into.
So if im not employed at time of application I'm unsure what the legal requirements/ qualifications are to renew and thus the docs needed.
