Ireland Stamp 0 2026: Conditions for Financially Independent Persons

Written by Global Immigrate consultants · Reviewed by Oscar Yip, Founder & Managing Director

Summary

Ireland’s Stamp 0 is for financially independent persons who will not seek employment in Ireland. It is permission to reside, not a work or investment visa.

Short answer: Ireland’s Stamp 0 is residence permission for financially independent persons who must show sufficient funds and will not seek or take employment in Ireland. It is not a work visa or investment migration product.

Information current as of October 2026.

What are the main conditions?

Item Detail
Funds Sufficient independent means (official reference levels)

How does it differ from investment migration?

Stamp 0 does not require property or business investment, but grants no work rights.

Not entering the local labour market is the core limit; any paid activity must be checked against current rules.
