Temporarily Registered Nurses
Anyone who wishes to practice nursing in Ireland must be registered with An Bord Altranais (the Nursing Board) (see Annexure - D for requirements for registration by An Bord Altranais). Nurses with qualifications from India must undertake a period of supervised clinical practice in an Irish hospital before they will be eligible for full registration. An Bord Altranais issues certificates of temporary registration on the basis of which such nurses can apply for working Visas or work authorizations valid for three months. Temporarily registered nurses who do not qualify for full registration within three months will not be allowed to remain in Ireland.

Subject to their having satisfactorily completed their periods of supervised clinical practice and obtaining full registration with An Bard Altranais, nurses who hold working visas and who wish to continue to work and reside in Ireland and to depart from and return to the state may obtain from the visa office of the Department of Foreign Affairs new Working Visa for multiple re-entry valid for further 21 months OR alternatively they can apply for permission to work and stay in Ireland at any office of a Superintendent of the-Garda Siochana (in the case of persons residing outside Dublin) or at Garda National Immigration Bureau, Harcourt St. Dublin 2 (Tel. 6663033; Fax 6663042). The period for which such permission may normally be extended will be for 21 months and thereafter two years at a time, provided the conditions of the scheme continue to be fulfilled.
