Stamp 1G Reform – Fair Opportunities for Graduates
Non-EU students who graduate in Ireland can stay for up to 24 months on a Stamp 1G visa to seek employment. However, many face ignorance or bias from employers who insist on a Stamp 4 or EU passport. This campaign fights for fair opportunities for these graduates.
€10M Integration Fund – Investing in Inclusion
In 2019, the government launched a €10 million Integration Fund to support migrant integration and gender equality projects. NEMI is monitoring and advocating around this fund to make sure it delivers real results.
