Yes, you can change after 12 months if this is your first employment permit in the country, however if this is not your first employment permit then you can change job even before 12 months.

Nowadays, Green card permit is no more, they are issuing Critical skills permit. If you change job and apply for an employment permit you will again get the Employment permit for 2 years. The processing time nowadays is between 3 weeks to a month.

Processing dates: http://www.djei.ie/labour/workpermits/p ... gdates.htm
Critical Skills Permit: http://www.djei.ie/labour/workpermits/c ... illsep.htm
Critical Skills permit form: http://www.djei.ie/publications/labour/ ... 001-14.pdf
Critical Skills Employment Permit fee: €1,000 for 24 months

I have a query regarding changing jobs on a Green Card after the first 12 months.

I landed in Ireland, and started working for my current employer, on December 1st 2014. But, due to certain problems regarding my visa and GNIB registration, my reckonable residence in Ireland is calculated from February 11th, 2015.

So, would I be able to change employers after one year from starting employment, or after one year of reckonable residence?

Thanks!
