What this tells you
A permit desk, not a one-off
PPD Development Ireland Limited processes permits at a volume that means someone inside the company does this regularly. Applications will be clean, timelines known, and a candidate who arrives with the right documents will not be the first they have seen.
How to approach them
Be the easy application
Employers that hire from abroad remember the candidates who arrived with documents in order: certificates, references, a clear licence position. Be that candidate and the permit is the employer's problem, not yours.

- The right permit for the job. Most trades and driving roles go through a General Employment Permit, which is issued for 2 years and can be renewed. Roles on the Critical Skills list use a Critical Skills Employment Permit.
- Pay at or above the minimum for the permit. For a General Employment Permit the Department currently lists it as generally EUR 36,605 a year, with lower figures for meat processing, horticulture, healthcare assistants and home support. Check the official figure for your role before you rely on it.
