For information on the recognition of De Facto relationships between EEA nationals (including Irish nationals) and non-EEA nationals by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) and the Employment Permit requirements for non-EEA nationals in such relationships, please refer to the INIS website.

If a non-EEA national in a de facto relationship with an EEA national requires an Employment Permit, a copy of the letter issued by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) confirming the immigration status based on the partnership should be included with the Employment Permit application
