The Intra-Company Transfer permit lets a multinational move senior management, key personnel or trainees from an overseas branch to its Irish operation. No labour-market needs test is required, but it is a temporary intra-corporate route rather than a settlement pathway.

Family can accompany you, but spouses and partners of ICT permit holders cannot get a dependant work permit and must qualify for their own employment permission to work.
No. ICT permit holders generally do not build up rights towards long-term residency, and when the permit ends you are usually expected to leave unless you secure another permission.
It is for senior managers, key personnel with specialist knowledge, and trainees being transferred from a foreign company to a linked Irish branch within the same group.
