Ireland Immigration Update: Changes To The Irish Employment Permits Online System

The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (DETE) is in the process of finalising a new cloud-based system designed to revolutionise how employment permit applications are managed in Ireland. This modernisation effort aims to streamline the application process by creating a more secure, user-friendly, and efficient platform. DETE will launch the new cloud-based system, Employment Permits Online, on Monday, 28 April 2025, transforming how employment permit applications are submitted, processed, and issued.

The move is necessary to update the current EPOS system, which uses older technologies. The new cloud-based system will improve the customer experience, increase efficiency, and provide more streamlined processing.
