Ireland promotes business growth and entrepreneurship with three different schemes for setting up your own business within its borders. If it has always been your dream to set up your business, then Ireland might be the place for you. The country is experiencing big economical growth and Ireland’s tax system has very good rates for businesses.
If you are a European Economic Area or Swiss national, then you have no restrictions on coming to Ireland and setting up your own business or becoming self-employed. Simply move over and get started! However, non-EEA citizens must first seek the appropriate permissions to relocate to the country for their business purposes. There are three government schemes for which you can apply to be granted an entrepreneurial work visa, and the one you choose will depend on your situation and type of business.
