How long is a Stamp 1G valid for?
The validity of Stamp 1G depends on your level of qualification:
Up to 12 Months Permission
Graduates with a Level 8 award on the National Framework of Qualifications typically undergraduate students are granted 12 months of permission to stay and seek employment in Ireland.
Up to 24 Months Permission
Graduates holding a Level 9 or higher award such as master’s or PhD students qualify for the Graduate Programme and are granted 24 months of permission.
Important:
- All graduates initially receive permission for 12 months.
- An extension for an additional 12 months may be granted if you can demonstrate to immigration authorities that you are actively taking steps to secure graduate-level employment, such as attending interviews or registering with graduate employment agencies.This structured approach ensures international graduates have the time needed to build their career in Ireland.
