渡航と滞在
Ireland keeps its own visitor visa and waiver list, separate from Schengen and the UK. Chinese passports usually need a visitor visa. Short stays are not work. A UK ETA is not permission to enter Ireland.
就労・滞在の道
The Critical Skills Employment Permit targets listed, well-paid roles and is family-friendly. The General permit needs a labour-market test. Graduates may use the Third Level Graduate Programme.
永住と国籍
After about five years of lawful work residence you may obtain Stamp 4, i.e. stay without an employment permit. Citizenship also usually needs five reckonable years and is sensitive to absences. Confirm with ISD.
Time to PR：2 years Critical Skills or 5 years general work

よくある質問
