In General, it will be easier for you to leave the country and apply another visa to come in once your work permit has been granted. It will also easier for you in future.m.anderson wrote:Thanks Alica for this information. I'm now in Ireland for 90 days (until March 1st 09). i have a C type visa which means i can only stay in Ireland for a max of 3 month. The website says that i have to leave the country on March 1st. See link below

I need to renew my stay for another 3 month while in Ireland, it looks like the work permit will take an average of 6 months (3 month Advertisment, and the processing time is about a month....) and i have to leave by that time. Is there a way to renew my stay while in Ireland if i got a letter from the employer saying that i need a 3 month extension?
If anyone has any information regarding this matter, i would appreciate your help.
it depends on what you want to do. if you want to stick around before they give you a work permit, here is what you need to do. get a letter from you employer stating that work permit has been applied on you behalf! since you are already in the country, you do not have to deal with the entry visa anymore. take the letter from you employer and go to GNIB if you are in Dublin. explain to them that you are waiting on the decision of the work permit. if they grant you extension on your permission to remain, then you dont have to leave the country. if they said no, then you will have to leave and come back when the work permit is granted! good luck!m.anderson wrote:Thanks Alica for this information.

the reason why I said GNIB in Dublin because i am in Dublin. in your case, you should go to the local registration office, which i am sure it will be on in Cork. i am not sure how you business visa works but once when you are in the country, you do not need to renew you visa, you have to renew the stamp they gave you when you registered with the local registration office if you see what i mean. go ask them, and see what they say but dont leave it until last week before you stamp expires in your passport!m.anderson wrote:Thanks mktsoi, it takes 3 month for advertisment for work permit and it will be too late since i have to be out of the country by then. if there is a way to renew a buisness visa for another 3 month then i guess i'm all set. I'm in Cork, which is a bit far from Dublin. Is there any other way?
