An individual must also typically appear for an interview with an Irish immigration officer. To gain residency in Ireland, one must apply for one of the available residence permits. Application requirements include proof of identity, a current valid passport, health insurance, sufficient funds to support one’s self and any dependents, proof of employment or study, evidence of immigration permission, and a completed application form.
