What usually happens is that the process is curated by these companies from the start, for example people applying via STEP that have approval and visa support from ISD already.
Thanks for your reply. Not yet and the company was register on 06/2022. On the other hand, the person who is gonna take the permit, he is already in Ireland.

I asked with the company director, he just opened company as a startup, but not so sure about the STEP. Can you please explain little bit more. And the company was register on 06/2022. On the other hand, the person who is gonna take the permit, he is already in Ireland.
For STEP, ISD has a page about it - https://www.irishimmigration.ie/coming- ... amme-step/DETE does not issue employment permits for jobs in businesses where at the time of application more than 50% of workers are from outside the EEA. This is called the ‘50:50’ rule.
There are some exceptions:
Where the company is new (registered with Revenue as an employer in the past 2 years) and has a letter of support from Enterprise Ireland or IDA Ireland. This only applies to companies that are clients of Enterprise Ireland or IDA Ireland.
No no the company wasn't dormant. The owner of the company were not able to afford Irish employee, just paying the zero tax last year. According the STEP we need 50,000 euro if we are non resident. But the company is already established by Irish resident, who is holding Stamp 4.meself2 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2024 2:29 pmTo be able to get the wavier through this, your firm has to be a client of IDA/Enterprise Ireland; it's not just a wavier-granting authority.

At the moment your situation looks rather strange - a company was dormant (?) for almost two years and suddently resurfaced to just hire a single nonEU employee, which seems to not have a way to stay in the country otherwise (and I assume they don't hold Stamp 4, otherwise they could've operated a business themselves). I don't think there's a magic silver bullet for this.
Being dormant in the company sense might mean "have no business activity".
An obvious question would be then, why would Irish authorities give company owner an exemption in this case?
