Although you are entitled to a residence permit as an EU national, you will be asked to produce certain documents to support your application. These documents will vary according to your circumstances:
If you are working, you will be asked for a signed statement from your employer or some proof of your self-employed status.
If you are studying, you will be asked for evidence of registration on an approved course as well as proof of health insurance and the sufficient funds to provide for yourself and any family dependants who are with you.
If you are retired or out of work, you will be asked for evidence of sufficient health insurance and funds to support yourself and your family, if they are with you.

As an EU national coming to Ireland to work or take up self-employment in Ireland, you are entitled to a residence permit.
When you come to Ireland you do not have to report your presence in the country immediately.
You must register within three months of your arrival and apply for a residence permit. To get a residence permit you should, if in Dublin, go to the Immigration Office and fill out the application form. In other areas, you should go to the local Garda station.
You will need to show that you are in employment or self-employed. If you are employed, your employer must complete part of the form. If you are self-employed, you must show some evidence of this, for example, VAT registration or documents showing evidence of activity. Your dependants will have to show that they are dependants; marriage and birth certificates are usually required.
A residence permit is granted for five years and is renewable.
If you are refused a permit or if it is withdrawn, there are special procedures for appealing.
The overall responsibility for residence permits rests with the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform. A form for an application for an Irish residence permit may be obtained from the Department.
INFORMATION ON COMMUNITY LAW

YOUR RIGHTS
As a citizen of the Union, you may enter a Member State with a valid identity card or passport and reside there for three months without any formalities.
As a citizen of the Union who does not enjoy a right of residence under any other provisions of Community law, you have a right of residence in any other Member State on condition that you have sufficient resources to avoid that you and the members of your family become a burden on the social assistance system of the host Member State during your period of residence and you and the members of your family are covered by sickness insurance in respect of all risks in the host Member State.
Resources are deemed sufficient when they are higher than the level of resources below which the host Member State may grant social assistance to its nationals or if this criterion cannot apply when they are higher than the level of the minimum social security pension paid by the host Member State.
In order to obtain a residence card you may only be required to present a valid identity card or passport and provide proof that you comply with the conditions of residence. The validity of the residence card may be limited to five years on a renewable basis. However, the host Member State may, when they deem it to be necessary, require revalidation of the card at the end of the first two years of residence.
The residence card shall be issued and renewed free of charge or on payment of an amount not exceeding that charged for the issue of identity cards to nationals.
The right of residence is maintained for as long as you comply with the above conditions. However, recourse to social assistance due to a temporary difficulty may not entail your automatic expulsion from the host Member State.
Subject to the above conditions and to any specific provisions foreseen in the Treaty and in secondary legislation, you have the right to equal treatment with nationals within the scope of the EC Treaty.
