The Atypical Working Scheme is expected to be implemented on 2 September 2013, and the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) in conjunction with the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, will pilot this Scheme.
The Scheme will facilitate working arrangements such as:
- persons being employed in the State on a short term basis i.e, between 14 and 90 calendar days (inclusive);
- persons being employed on a trial basis (not exceeding 90 days inclusive of date of entry to the State);
- other categories of employment that may not be covered by the Employment Permits Acts
This Scheme does not apply to non-EEA nationals who gain employment through the High Skilled Jobs Interview Authorisation, are a holder of a Van der Elst visa, or to individuals who wish to enter the State for business purposes of less than 14 days duration.
There will be a non-refundable application fee of €250.
