Most non-EU engineers come to Ireland on a Critical Skills Employment Permit. According to the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, it needs a job offer of at least two years and a salary of €40,904 for roles on the Critical Skills Occupations List (with a relevant degree), or €68,911 for most other roles. Three of these postings give no figure, so ask for the base range early.

The Stack has 77 live visa-sponsored listings in Ireland today. Qualcomm posted the most in the last 90 days, with 11. Only 2 of the 5 roles here state a salary figure, and none of the 5 had closed when we checked.

PwC and EY state visa sponsorship as a plain yes on these postings. Anthropic and Etsy both sponsor but say it is not available for every role, and Qualcomm lists relocation and immigration support.

The official page lists €40,904 for occupations on the Critical Skills list (with a relevant degree) and €68,911 for most other occupations, with a job offer of at least two years. Etsy's and Anthropic's listed ranges are both above the higher figure.

On this list, Etsy (€98,000–€132,000) and Anthropic (€295,000–€355,000). Qualcomm, PwC and EY do not give figures.
