Irish Immigration Shifts in 2026

As governments recalibrate immigration systems in response to economic pressures and political change, businesses face a rapidly evolving landscape for global talent mobility. 

Ireland, alongside key international markets, is tightening eligibility criteria, increasing salary thresholds, and placing greater scrutiny on employer-sponsored migration, while still competing to attract critical skills. 

This briefing will provide practical insight into what these changes mean for hiring strategies, workforce planning, and compliance risk in 2026. 

Nadia Idries (Managing Director, UK & Ireland), and Joao Pires (Senior Manager, Ireland) will explore the latest developments shaping business immigration, including policy changes, compliance risks, and strategic implications for employers operating across borders. They will be joined by a global mobility leader who will share practical insight on how their organisation is responding to these changes.
