Frequently asked questions
Does the LTR include a work permit?
Yes — qualifying categories receive a digital work permit issued by the BOI, valid for the same 10-year period.
What is the tax rate under LTR?
The 17% preferential personal income tax rate applies to qualifying Highly-Skilled Professionals under the LTR programme, subject to the applicable conditions. It does not apply to Wealthy Pensioners simply because they hold an LTR visa.
