Below is the wording of the notice from the Dept of Justice. If you wish to download the letter and print it off,

it can be accessed HERE

 

This notice is to inform you that under Section 4(7) of the Immigration Act 2004, the

Minister for Justice of Ireland has decided to vary permission to remain in the State for

certain Stamp 3 Irish immigration residence permission holders, who wish to engage in

employment. Currently, a Stamp 3 permission does not allow the holder to seek

employment. This varied permission allows certain persons to engage in employment

without the requirement to obtain an Irish Employment Permit.

 

Eligible spouses and partners of Irish Employment Permit holders have had their

residence permission amended to the same conditions as apply to the current Stamp 1G;

permitting access to employment without a requirement for an Employment Permit,

where they have;

 

(i) applied for and been granted family reunification, in accordance with the Non-

EEA Family Reunification Policy,

And,

(ii) a Stamp 3 is endorsed on their current in-date Irish Residence Permit (IRP) card.

This amended permission applies from 15/05/2024.

 

This letter is valid proof of the holder’s entitlement until the expiry of their current

IRP card. After 15/05/2025 at the latest, all eligible Stamp 3 holders will have been

required to renew their IRP card and will then receive a Stamp 1G endorsement on

their next IRP card.

 

As an employer, should you wish to employ a Stamp 3 holder who is a spouse or partner

of Employment Permit holders, you may accept this letter and their IRP card endorsed

with a Stamp 3 as proof of entitlement to work, without the requirement for a separate

Employment Permit.
