I need some advice regarding my employment permit. I'm currently on my second Critical Skills Employment Permit (CSEP) and have spent a total of 21 months under these permits. However, my current permit is set to expire in September 2024.
I found a form for requesting a stamp 4 support letter. The form mentions that requests should be submitted up to 12 weeks before the permit expires. This has left me confused because I believed that completing 21 months in my CSEP would make me eligible for Stamp 4.
To clarify this, I contacted Workplace Relations Customer Services at +353 1 417 5333, and they informed me that I can only apply 12 weeks before the expiry date, regardless of the 21-month requirement.
Has anyone else faced a similar situation or can offer any guidance?
