Key facts

  • Non-EEA, non-Swiss, non-UK nationals need a valid employment permit or atypical permission before working, and apply for a short stay (C) or long stay (D) visa depending on how long the work lasts.
  • Stamp 0 is for retirees of independent means, visiting academics and elderly dependent relatives; holders must not work or run a business unless a letter of permission says otherwise.
  • Anyone staying longer than 90 days must register; Stamp 0 applications cannot be made from inside the State.
  • No source reviewed describes a remote-worker permission.
