Notice | Students on Stamp 2 permissions
25 September 2020
Working hours
In March 2020, as part of the Governments response to the covid-19 pandemic, students who hold Stamp 2 permissions and who attended colleges which had physically closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, were allowed in those exceptional circumstances to work 40 hours a week. This was conditional on the student completing their course online if this service was provided by their college and represented a short term and temporary measure.
This exceptional, short term and temporary measure will now cease.
The standard criteria will now apply as follows:
- Students holding a valid immigration stamp 2 permission are permitted work 40 hours per week only during the months of June, July, August and September and from 15 December to 15 January inclusive.
- At all other times students holding Immigration permission Stamp 2 will be limited to working 20 hours per week.

By notice of 18 September, all permissions that are due to expire from 20th September 2020 - 20th January 2021 are automatically renewed by the Minister to the 20th January 2021.

In summary, all students on a stamp 2 permission are required to be currently enrolled on a course of study and be either registered or have applied to do so. Failure to adhere to these conditions will result in future registration applications being refused.

Goodbye GNIB card. Hello Irish Residence Permit (IRP).
11 December 2017
From 11 December the previous registration certificate (GNIB card) has been replaced by a new registration certificate called the Irish Residence Permit (IRP).
IMPORTANT: Do not apply for an Irish Residence Permit (IRP) until you need to renew. Your existing registration certificate (GNIB card) remains valid until it expires.
New card. New design.
The new Irish Residence Permit (IRP) is based on EU standards, including:
- New design, based on EU colour and layout rules
- New information, including a brief description of your immigration permission
- New features, including robust security and identity protection
New card. Same rules.
The IRP does not give you any new rights or entitlements.
For example, an IRP does not allow you to travel to or live freely in other EU countries. All existing travel and immigration rules still apply.
New card. New process.
If you live in Dublin, you will receive your IRP by post after you register from now on. It will not be given to you at your registration appointment.
The process outside Dublin has not changed.
New card. Same responsibilities.
Your responsibilities for the new IRP are the same as your old registration certificate (GNIB card).
For example, you must carry your IRP with you all times and present it to an immigration officer or a member of An Garda Síochána (police) if requested. This includes whenever you leave or re-enter the country.

Notice | Students on Stamp 2 permissions
25 September 2020
Working hours
In March 2020, as part of the Governments response to the covid-19 pandemic, students who hold Stamp 2 permissions and who attended colleges which had physically closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, were allowed in those exceptional circumstances to work 40 hours a week. This was conditional on the student completing their course online if this service was provided by their college and represented a short term and temporary measure.
This exceptional, short term and temporary measure will now cease.
The standard criteria will now apply as follows:
- Students holding a valid immigration stamp 2 permission are permitted work 40 hours per week only during the months of June, July, August and September and from 15 December to 15 January inclusive.
- At all other times students holding Immigration permission Stamp 2 will be limited to working 20 hours per week.
Requirement to be enrolled on a course of study and Register
By notice of 18 September, all permissions that are due to expire from 20th September 2020 - 20th January 2021 are automatically renewed by the Minister to the 20th January 2021.
In order for students to maintain their permission, including the right to work, they must re-enrol in a course of study in accordance with the terms and conditions of the ILEP.
In summary, all students on a stamp 2 permission are required to be currently enrolled on a course of study and be either registered or have applied to do so. Failure to adhere to these conditions will result in future registration applications being refused.
Notice | Minister announces further temporary extension of immigration permissions
18 September 2020
This notice applies to Immigration and International Protection permissions to reside in the State that are due to expire between 20th September 2020 and 20th January 2021 and supplements all previous extension notices. This is the fifth, and expected to be the final, extension of permissions implemented since the outset of the pandemic and the longest granted.
In light of the uncertainties caused by the Coronavirus pandemic, COVID-19, the following notice applies to all persons with a current valid permission due to expire from 20th September 2020 to 20th January 2021, whether pursuant to domestic law or powers of the Minister, or Directive 2004/38/EC (Free Movement Directive).
All such permissions that are due to expire from 20th September 2020 - 20th January 2021 are automatically renewed by the Minister to the 20th January 2021. The renewal of permission is on the same basis as the existing permission and the same conditions attach. In relation to persons with existing permission under Directive 2004/38/EC (Free Movement Directive), the automatic renewal is subject to the requirement that the person is complying with the requirements of the Directive.
Any permission that was renewed by the previous notices which therefore has a new expiry date between 20th September 2020 and 20th January 2021 is automatically renewed by this notice until 20th January 2021.
All renewals in the Dublin area are now being processed online only and the system has been available for all applicants since 20 July 2020 at https://inisonline.jahs.ie, and renewal applications will continue to be accepted.

Goodbye GNIB card. Hello Irish Residence Permit (IRP).
11 December 2017
From 11 December the previous registration certificate (GNIB card) has been replaced by a new registration certificate called the Irish Residence Permit (IRP).
IMPORTANT: Do not apply for an Irish Residence Permit (IRP) until you need to renew. Your existing registration certificate (GNIB card) remains valid until it expires.
New card. New design.
The new Irish Residence Permit (IRP) is based on EU standards, including:
- New design, based on EU colour and layout rules
- New information, including a brief description of your immigration permission
- New features, including robust security and identity protection
New card. Same rules.
The IRP does not give you any new rights or entitlements.
For example, an IRP does not allow you to travel to or live freely in other EU countries. All existing travel and immigration rules still apply.
New card. New process.
If you live in Dublin, you will receive your IRP by post after you register from now on. It will not be given to you at your registration appointment.
The process outside Dublin has not changed.
New card. Same responsibilities.
Your responsibilities for the new IRP are the same as your old registration certificate (GNIB card).
For example, you must carry your IRP with you all times and present it to an immigration officer or a member of An Garda Síochána (police) if requested. This includes whenever you leave or re-enter the country.
