Ireland takes great pride in its kindness, caring and willingness to help others. For this reason, the government allow and encourage an immigration permission that permits people to come to Ireland, embrace the culture, all while helping the most vulnerable in society.

The key elements to a successful application for volunteering is as follows:

• A letter of invite from a recognized volunteering organization in Ireland.

• Proof of an accommodation plan in Ireland.

• Proof of funds to support yourself in Ireland.

There is a wide array of civil societies who are looking for help in Ireland. From homeless charities to churches, to youth services and cultural institutions there is a volunteering organization for anyone that holds that calling.

In addition to this, many organizations will provide benefits such as accommodation and food to aid your stay in Ireland. The permission can last for a maximum of three years.

While immigration permissions can often be seen as difficult too obtain, this is very much seen as a Win-Win. The Irish government are able to support small underfunded organizations who care for those who need it while the applicant can help the vulnerable while also getting to experience the beauty and kindness of Ireland.
