What Ireland Immigration Act 2004 - ISD Employment Permit and Residency Stamp Framework requires

Ireland's Immigration Act 2004 (No. 1 of 2004), as supplemented by the Immigration Act 1999 and numerous statutory instruments, governs the entry, stay, and removal of non-EEA nationals. Immigration Service Delivery (ISD) under the Department of Justice replaced the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS). EU/EEA/Swiss nationals and their family members have free movement rights under SI 656 of 2006 (transposing EU Directive 2004/38/EC). Non-EEA nationals require immigration permission to remain in Ireland. The stamp-based system (Stamp 1 to Stamp 6) categorises the basis of permission to remain. Employment Permits (Critical Skills and General Employment Permit) are issued by DETE (Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment) and validated by ISD. The Irish Residence Permit (IRP) card is the biometric residence document. Ireland operates a Common Travel Area (CTA) with the United Kingdom, allowing free movement between both islands without border controls. Removal Orders under s.3 of the 1999 Act and deportation orders may be issued for immigration violations.
