Ireland Lists 17 Jobs for General Employment Permit in 2026
Ireland's Department of Enterprise has released a list of 17 occupations eligible for a General Employment Permit under quota for 2026. This list is categorized into new quota occupations and those with renewed quota status.
Notably, two new roles have been added: Fish Filletters and Seafood Operatives, indicating a fresh demand in these sectors. The renewed quota includes a broader range of roles across hospitality, transport, automotive, agriculture, and care.
The General Employment Permit is part of several work permit categories in Ireland, aimed at addressing skills and labor shortages in specific sectors where domestic or European Economic Area workforce demand cannot be met. This announcement is particularly relevant for Nigerians and other African nationals seeking job opportunities abroad, as it outlines accessible entry points in skilled trades, care work, and hospitality, sectors that have historically relied on international recruitment.
