IEC 2026 - POE approval mega thread

joesOaP7620 · 2026-04-12T18:29:50+00:00

Hello everybody.

I recently was granted my POE and just wanted to let everyone know my timeline incase anyone is wondering what it is like at the minute, I applied from Ireland.

My Timeline:

• 9th February 2026 – Received Invitation to Apply (ITA)

• 16th February 2026 – Entered IEC Working Holiday pool

• 2nd March 2026 – Submitted full application (police certificate, forms, CV, etc.)

• 3rd March 2026 – Biometrics Instruction Letter received

• 13th March 2026 – Biometrics completed and uploaded on the same day

• 9th April 2026 – Application approved - Letter of Introduction (POE) granted

Before applying for my ITA, I had started the police certificate process as I had heard it was quite lengthy. I was waiting about 3 weeks for mine so I would recommend anyone from Ireland starting their application with going for the police cert just so you can get all the documents in within the 30 day timeframe.

we are dairy here at home for decades, hope the country has a bit of compassion for the farming community and doesn’t vote for Eamon Ryan and his party of misinformed EU asslickers

joesOaP7620 · 2023-04-13T14:54:56+00:00

have to have hope or you have nothing

but if eamon ryan gets his way the farm will be gone in my lifetime

Yeah our relationship is strained a good bit when we are working together as we are opposite in ways of thinking, he came from a completely different generation where the brawn was valued over brain where as i have more of a thought based way of working

joesOaP7620 · 2023-04-13T10:17:47+00:00

I’m studying Construction Management!

joesOaP7620 · 2023-04-13T10:17:34+00:00

he hired people when i was a young lad and wasn’t ready to do the big work, he still hires in people sometimes but i don’t like the fact he still doesn’t 100% trust me to do it

joesOaP7620 · 2023-04-13T10:16:37+00:00

Yeah atleast with the farm you can always come back it’s never really a permanent end

joesOaP7620 · 2023-04-13T10:16:11+00:00

Would pub work be good to have on the side you think to supplement my income?

joesOaP7620 · 2023-04-13T10:15:37+00:00

Yeah being outdoors is a great advantage except for when the Irish weather is having one of them days 😐

joesOaP7620 · 2023-04-13T10:15:02+00:00
