Sport and culture Employment Permit
Sport and Cultural Employment Permits are designed to facilitate the employment in the State of foreign nationals with the relevant qualifications, skills, experience or knowledge for the development, operation and capacity of sporting and cultural activities.
The Department may consult with relevant persons or governing bodies to ascertain if the issue of an employment permit is appropriate in each case.
Either the foreign national or the employer may apply for a Sport and Cultural Employment Permit and the permit is issued to the foreign national, and a certified copy sent to the employer, which permits his or her employment in the State, by the employer, in the occupation and location/s specified on the permit.
Sport and Cultural Employment Permits may be issued for differing periods depending on whether the contract of employment is full-time up to a maximum of 2 years, or seasonal.
