Employment permit for remote worker?

5 years ago
Hello, new to this community! I am a remote worker specializing in digital marketing/communication & web design. In remote work the company is entirely distributed/remote, so in this case what would I do about an Irish employment permit? While technically I have income without a right to work specifically in Ireland, my research has implied I need one to be able to legally reside in Ireland.

A bit of background, my fiance and I plan to relocate to Ireland after our wedding in November of this year. I will be working and he will be looking to study for qualification as a post-primary teacher (he is a military veteran with a Bachelor of Science already and wishes to go into teaching in Ireland -- we also verified his veteran education benefits will support study overseas).

Basically, what would be a good route to ensure we are legally OK to stay in Ireland past the 90 day permission we get as US citizens? Could I get a work permit (I do qualify for the Critical Skills permit based on my job function) if I don't work for a company registered in Ireland? Or, would it be better to get legal residency based on my spouse pursuing a master's in Ireland?

Any advice much appreciated!
