Oh! You have been granted residence in Ireland by the Minister for Justice, or maybe you are just lucky enough to join a family member. In either case, you may not require an employment permit to work in Ireland. However, if you do not fall in either category like most non-EEA (European Economic Area) individuals, then an employment permit is a sine qua non.
The organization which processes these employment permits is known as the “Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (DETE)”. It may be noted that there are nine different types of employment permit, and a special Hosting Agreement for academic researchers. However, the most common are General Employment Permit & Critical Skills Employment Permits.
And this blog is dedicated to understanding the difference between the General Employment Permit & Critical Skills Employment Permit.
Regarded as the key component applied by the State of Ireland to entice nationals from third world nations to work with labour shortages. This permit assumes all works to be eligible unless it is specified otherwise. One of the major significance of a “General Employment Permit” for any potential candidate is that it covers a wider range of occupations than any other type of employment permit, and may be obtained in respect of a 12 month contract of employment.
It may be noted that the said permit can be issued for an initial 2 years’ timeperiod, and can subsequently be renewed for a further 3 years. And after 5 years, the applicant may safely apply to the Immigration Service Delivery (ISD) for a long-term residency.
If you have been proposed a job in one of the three categories, then you may apply for a General Employment Permit. These include:
There are certain key points worth understanding, including:
Said to replace the “Green Card” employment permit, the Critical Skills Employment permit is made to lure highly skilled people into labour market with the key motive of encouraging them to seek PR in Ireland.
There are certain key components attached to the said permit which make it highly attractive, namely:
If you have been proposed a job in one of the three categories, then you may apply for a Critical Skills Employment Permit. These include:
It is important to understand that the said permit can only be issued for a job proposal in 2 years’ time. Permit holders are expected to stay with their first employer for a period not less than 12 months. This is important because under section 12(1) (e) of the Employment Permits Act, 2006 as amended, unless a period of 12 months has lapsed since the permit holder first started employment in the State in accordance with the employment permit, a new employment permit for a different employer cannot be examined.
Certain key components with respect to the said type of visa include:

Autumn’s Approach ushers in new visa and health surcharge fees surge in the UK
Often we Indians have a dream of visiting the UK at least once in our lifetime. It may be simply through a tourist visa to see the iconic Victorian landmarks, breath-taking coastal views, or the Scottish Highlands, or a student visa to pursue higher education at one of the historical universities, or a work visa to get employed in a top notch UK-based firm/organization/company. We may have different plans, but it is important to update oneself with the latest changes in the visa application.
And one such latest update from the UK government is regarding the new fee structure for visa and health surcharge applications. Aimed towards meeting the surge in public sector wages, as the government attempts to settle disputes with trade unions over salary and employment terms. A hike of 15 % and 66% in the Visa and Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) (hereinafter “health surcharge”) fees has been set out, respectively, across the board. However, there has been no official announcement from the incumbency as to when this substantial top up in the fees will come into effect. Moreover, the timing of the updates suggest that it may be as soon as Autumn 2023.
Key changes expected:-
Precise information with respect to the latest rules and regulations are expected soon, but the key changes are:
Rise in the health surcharge, and exceptions to the same:-
Frosted for the past three years, a surge in the health surcharge would heavily impact the total price of visa applications. And this is especially with respect to families. It is important to understand that the payment of a health surcharge is important as it ensures access to cost-free health care services for the visa applicants through the National Health Service (NHS). Now this is irrespective of the fact that the applicant has private medical insurance cover. Further, the payment of the health surcharge is made in a lump sum together with the other visa fees. The expected hike in the overall health surcharge will help compensate for the rise in the payment to doctors.
It is not necessary for everyone to pay the health surcharge fee. A person applying for a work visa for more than a period of 6 months must pay the same. However, there are certain applicants who are exempted from making the said payment. These include:
Suggestions to the Employer
Amidst the cost of living crisis, the hike in the fee structure will result in some real difficulties for individuals and businesses, with special emphasis upon new start-ups and Small and Medium sized enterprises (SMEs).
It is utterly important that a few factors are well considered by these employers to minimize these challenges:

Starting from January, 2024, students pursuing courses other than research in post-graduation programs would not be able to take their dependents. Aimed towards holding in the ever increasing net immigration. Suella Braverman, the Home Secretary, has described this new move as the biggest tightening measure the government has ever executed. The Home Secretary said the new move is upright as it allows the government to protect the public service simultaneously.
In the past few years, the UK Isles have witnessed an exponential rise in the immigration rate, with net migration running over 500,000 between the periods June 2021- June 2022 – twice more than that recorded in the year 2019. It may be noted that “Net immigration” is nothing but the difference between the number of people entering the UK with the purpose of staying 12 months or more in a particular time frame and the number of people exiting during the identical time period.
This blog is dedicated to discussing this new move by the government with respect to the international students and their dependents.
Tragic increase in the number of dependent accompanying international students & its repercussions
Since 2019, the UK has witnessed a tragic 750 % increase in the number of dependents of international students, taking the number to 136,000 people. Therefore, to curb this net migration, the UK government from January 2024 onwards has declared to prevent international students from bringing their dependants with them while pursuing their studies in the UK. These dependents include children below the age of 18, spouses, civil partners, and old parents in need of long-term care. Some of the important repercussions of this new policy include:
Major Repercussions Explained:
Pursuing any course in the UK Isles requires a huge sum of money and-therefore, more students opt for the Skilled Worker route, since the same proposes an economical and time-bound pathway to full-time employment in the UK. However, this new policy aimed towards clamping down upon the non-genuine students using the Skilled Worker Route as backdoor.
Students pursuing a graduation course have been prevented from bringing their dependents to the UK. However, they are not the only individuals to face this fate. Students pursuing a one-year Master’s course would also face an impact. And this course is quite popular among students from India and Nigeria. This decision will be a boon to the major global economies who now have a chance to welcome pioneering individuals forsaken by the UK.
Cracking down upon fake and unscrupulous agents would help other genuine agents to obtain proper professional certification and establish a firm record of ethical conduct.
Can we expect the policy to alleviate?
It is highly uncertain to expect any flexibility in the new policy. However, the incumbency in its statement has talked about its plan on working closely with UK universities to prepare an alternative procedure so as to ensure that pioneering students can bring their dependents into the UK Isles. This would be simultaneously done with reducing the net migration rate. And will be executed after proper consultation with different key stakeholders.

1. Common Reasons for the rejection of UK Spouse Visa
Before we begin the steps to be followed for the appeal process, it is important to understand the causes of spouse visa refusal.
One of the important reasons for the Spouse visa rejection is failure to meet the Spouse Visa eligibility requirement, or genuine relationship criteria. And most of the time it is not ineligibility but lack of proper evidence to substantiate the needful requirements.
The UK Home Office is highly trained to detect fake applications with regards to the Spouse visa. They have made it tough for the individual to prove the originality of their application. Lack of proper evidence to support the relationship with your partner can lead to visa refusal. And such rejections are inevitable in scenarios where a suspicion arises that the individual lacks a genuine intention to live with the spouse after marriage.
Without assistance from a well-qualified immigration lawyer, adherence to the stringent rules and for the above stated reasons, Spouse visa rejection is inevitable.
Other reasons include:
2. Appeal process: Legal remedy in the case Spouse visa rejection
2.1 Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights
Through Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (hereinafter “Article 8’), everyone has a right to appeal a Spouse visa refusal on human rights grounds.
Article 8 reads:
Article 8 promises you to appeal in cases where the Home Office have breached their obligations by rejecting your Spouse visa application. This article would force them to alter their decision regarding the application, consequently granting you a leave to remain in the UK.
2.2 Appeal Process Explained
The entire process in respect of the appeal would be explained in the decision letter one receives from the Home Office.
These would be further divided into a number of steps, which are as follows:
Step 1: Completion of an appeal form and submission of the same within 14 days (if you are in the UK), or 28 days (if you are outside the UK) of receiving the decision.
Step 2: Forming a decision on the information in the appeal form and any documents supplied to the tribunal. This would be accompanied by a fee of GBP 80 in a case where you do not want a hearing. And GBP 140 for an instance where you have requested an oral hearing.
There is a way through which you can increase the chances of your application being successful. And the same can be done through providing the latest information which adds to your matter, thus increasing the eligibility for a Spouse visa. This information should not be one you have already given to the Home Office before.
Now, in the case where your application is successful, then the Home Office will be told to reconsider their judgment and in most cases, the Spouse visa will be granted to the individual. However, if it is unsuccessful, then the matter can be brought over to the Upper Tribunal. And this tribunal shall consider the decisions made in the previous tribunal or Tier 1 tribunal.
And for such cases, having assistance from a qualified immigration lawyer proves beneficial.

Basic reasons for the rejection of a visa:
Visa rejection is nothing but an instance of getting an individual application rejected by an embassy, consulate, or high commission of the host country. These institutions provide relevant reasons for such rejections, which may later help you ameliorate the errors in prospective visa applications.

Ramifications of visa refusal:
Refusal of a visa application can be frustrating and exhausting. An improper and unorganized strategy during the application stage might lead to such a scenario. The following are the ramifications of a visa rejection:
Reasons for visa refusal in detail:
Let’s now study the reasons for the visa denial in detail. It may be noted that the list below gives a clear description of why it is important to apply for a visa in a proper manner. Mindful comprehension of the causes behind the refusal of visas would enable individuals to submit visa applications devoid of errors. Below are some of the prominent reasons for the rejection of individual visa applications:
Insufficiency in detail and data discrepancy
It is necessary to fill out each and every section of the visa application form. One should give proper detail, as each section has specified instructions regarding the dos and don’ts of visa applications. Failure on the part of the individual applicant to provide all the genuine information may result in visa rejection.
Basic typos or data discrepancies would also result in the same fate.
Contravention of visa regulations and the overall confirmation procedure
Immigration departments have hard and fast rules for visa approval and this is in addition to the overall validation process. It is therefore recommended to read the embassy’s website and all the other set of rules and provisions before making any appeal.
Every minute detail in the form a document is checked with utmost diligence by the authority, confirming those. Now in the case where a fake document is discovered, then the visa is instantly rejected.
Also it is important to submit your application in the official language of the embassy. Regional languages go un-verified by the embassy authority, therefore making your document ineffective.
Material misrepresentation and fraud in visa application
Considered the “second’” most famous ground for unacceptability of visa application by embassy or consular staffs – and one of the most complex areas of immigration laws. Material misrepresentation of facts or fraud can have draconian ramifications, and life imprisonment in a country like the United States. For example, In respect of the United States, there can be a 214B visa denial in case where the individual is unable to demonstrate his intended activities to the consular office. This is one of the main reasons why embassy officers proceed with proper discretion before arriving at a judgement. These judgments are subject to “stern inspection”, and “proper evidences” to support them. Therefore it is necessary to provide accurate and genuine details on the application.
Individuals with Criminal Record
Notwithstanding the fact that you are convicted criminal within your native country or abroad, having criminal record could severely affect your ability to live as a non-citizen in the host country. Additionally, a hidden criminal record can also lead to deportation of individuals with proper visa and documents. Therefore one should be upfront about his criminal records in the application and provide all the relevant details, inclusive of legal documents related to your matter and other documents that may ensure you are a high-minded citizen.
Individuals with health and medical issues
Individuals with medical issues or a critical health condition may be denied a visa in cases where the host country is devoid of proper healthcare facilities to treat the condition. Therefore, it is important to research the medical facilities of the country you visit before making the visa appeal.
Adverse travel history
Inimical travel history can have your visa application getting cancelled and following are some of the reasons for such a scenario: –
Dearth of funds, and bad financial history
For an individual to visit any country, the presence of enough funds in the bank account is a chief necessity. The embassies or consulates have a certain set specific amount for the stay of an individual in a particular country. Now, in a case where the amount you possess fails to match the expectations, then it can be a reason for a visa rejection.
Visa rejection can also have a bad financial history, one of the major reasons. A bad financial history or a history of financial issues comprises bankruptcy, defaulted loans, or evaded taxes. It is extremely important to have a good financial history, and proper evidence of one’s financial steadiness in the form of tax returns or bank statements.
Not having travel insurance
Travelling into a country without proper travel insurance, especially where the same is a requisite, may result in your visa getting rebutted. It is important to make sure that you possess proper travel insurance before making any application.
Political problems and age restrictions
Now it is important to understand that in a case where the country you wish to visit has some political problems with your native country, then your visa may be denied. Therefore, it is important to keep in touch with the latest political updates and how the same may have an impact on your visa application.
Coming to the age restriction factor, there are some visas which require you to meet certain age criteria. Failure on the part of an individual to abide by the same may result in denial of a visa application. Therefore, it is important to do a careful examination of age criteria before making the application.

Wish to participate extravagantly in the life of the UK community? Then just go and apply for citizenship in the UK. Sounds obvious, right? But what is the procedure, eligibility criterion, and benefits of applying the same? Let’s understand all of these with the help of this article in a lucid way.
Obtaining British citizenship automatically awards you a British passport, allowing you to travel freely across the UK isles, without any danger of doing away with your citizenship. Now this is important, especially for those who prefer Indefinite Leave to Remain (hereinafter “ILR”) over the UK citizenship.

Regarding people granted settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS), losing your citizenship is inevitable if you leave the UK for 5 years or more, or in case you leave it as a Swiss Citizen.
