Third Level Graduate Scheme

Ireland: Foreign graduates eligible for new distinguishing stamp

A new immigration stamp – Stamp 1G - is available for foreign graduates who are authorized to work under the Third Level Graduate Scheme, according to an announcement by the Immigration Naturalisation and Immigration Service.

Previously, graduates who applied under the Third Level Graduate Scheme were granted a Stamp 2, which was the same stamp for all non-European Economic Area (EEA) graduates, regardless of whether or not they were eligible to work.
