In order to move to Ireland and stay for any reason for longer than 90 days, any non-EEA national needs to obtain a long-term residence permit. Permits are issued for work, study, business, retirement, and investment.
The Irish Residence Permit (IRP) is a card issued by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS). The IRP specifies that the applicant’s leave to remain in Ireland has been registered.
The stamp in the documents related to the residence permit reflects the type of residence permit issued. The type of stamp is indicated in the type of permit column of the Irish Residence Permit (IRP).
