A degree in Dublin that became an employment permit Category: Student Visas | Visa: Study Visa (Stamp 2) → Stamp 1G
The Client: A 24-year-old wanted to study in Ireland and stay on to work, but needed a course that genuinely qualified for the graduate route.
The Challenge: Only certain qualifications unlock the Third Level Graduate Programme — the wrong course would leave her with no post-study work option.
How We Handled It: Selected an eligible programme aligned with Ireland's in-demand tech sector. Prepared a clean Stamp 2 file with enrolment, funds and insurance evidence. Mapped the route from graduation to Stamp 1G and a Critical Skills permit.
The Result: She completed her degree, moved onto a Stamp 1G, secured a qualifying tech role, and transitioned to a CSEP — converting study into a long-term residence track. | Why It Matters In Ireland, course choice decides whether the graduate route is open. Aligning study with eligible programmes and in-demand sectors turns a degree into an employment-permit pathway. | | --- |
