Question
What is the Third Level Graduate Programme in Ireland?
IrelandAsked by Nikhil B.8 July 2026✨ Expert answer
The TLGP is Ireland's post-study work permission. After graduating from NFQ Level 8+, non-EEA students can stay 1-2 years to find employment — Level 8 graduates get 12 or 24 months, Master's and PhD get 24 months. No job offer is needed. Apply to INIS within 6 months of your final results. From the TLGP you can transition to a Critical Skills Employment Permit.
