How to register as a Physiotherapist in Ireland

One of our active and very helpful members, Fran Theron, has been in Ireland many years now.

As a Physiotherapist herself, she is able to give guidance on the the process of getting registered in Ireland so that you are able to seek work and a work permit if needed (non-EU passport holders).

If a person is an EU, Irish or British passport holder, after all your immigration aspects are sorted, you will still need to be registered in Ireland as a Physiotherapist in order to work here.

If you are seeking a work permit, this will need to be done prior to seeking work or a work permit, also have a read on the conditions of that work permit linked below
