Just naturalised - OK to change employer?

BenEadir

Hi all,

If an immigrant from outside the EU was given a work visa contingent on being employed by a specific nominated employer (they had skills or experience that employer couldn't get elsewhere in the EU) and after 7 years the visa holder has now become an Irish citizen through naturalisation and will soon have an Irish passport etc are they now free to change employer and work for whoever they want?

I assume as a naturalised Irish citizen they are no longer bound by the original terms of their immigration work visa and can move employer if they so wish but I'd like someone with a bit more knowledge here to perhaps confirm that or point me in the direction of the relevant agency or legislation?

Cheers,

Ben

Once you're naturalised you're an Irish Citizen, Visa's and work permits off course no longer apply, so you're free to move between employers as you see fit.

Once you've been naturalised and have your PPSN, there's nothing stopping you from changing employer. You have the same rights as any other Irish citizen.

They can contact INIS if they want to be sure.
