The Step By Step approach on this journey from South Africa to Ireland:
1. Am I eligible to move to Ireland?
This can only be answered by what passports you hold:
Do you or your spouse hold an Irish, British or EU passport, or are you all South African?
Irish and South African Passports
British and South African Passports
EU and South African Passports
If you hold South African passports, is your career eligible for a work permit? This step is VITAL for SA passport holders, because sadly if your career is not eligible, or if you do not like the terms and conditions of a given type of work permit, applying for work is just a waste of time. Please check and be certain on your SOC code being eligible.
2. Home Affairs in SA
Home Affairs Agents and Contacts
South African Passport renewals in SA and Ireland
3. You have determined eligibility, what next?
