If your application is approved you will be sent a letter giving you permission to take part in business for an initial duration of 12 months.
If you are living outside the State, this letter should be given to an Immigration Officer upon arrival in the State in order to get permission to enter. After your arrival in the State you must register with your local registration office (Garda National Immigration Bureau, 13/14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2 or, for persons living outside of the Dublin area, their local Garda Superintendent’s Office).
If your application is successful and you are already living legally in the State you may start your business but you must first register or renew your existing registration with your local registration office.
