Under new changes to the employment permit system announced recently (20 June 2022), employers and employees are now going to be able to apply for Critical Skills Employment Permits for the following categories of employees:
- Cardiac Physiologist;
- Medical Scientist;
- Occupational Therapist;
- Physiotherapist;
- Podiatrist / Chiropodist;
- Psychologist;
- Speech and Language Therapist;
- Pharmacist.
Critical Skills Employment Permits are extremely attractive to employees as permit holders are allowed bring their family and dependents with them immediately, and can qualify for Stamp 4 (unlimited access to the labour market) after 2 years employment.
