Routes of Registration
There are different routes of registration with the PSI depending on where your pharmacy qualification has been awarded. You will find information about each route in this section, including the supports needed to apply and the requirements you must meet. When you are ready to apply, your application can be completed in our online registration portal.
You can apply to register as a pharmacist through this route if you have completed the recognised training in Ireland.
You can apply to register as a pharmacist through this route if you have completed your education and training in a European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA) member State, and are nationals of a EU/EEA member state.
You can apply to have your qualification recognised in Ireland using the Third Country Qualification Recognition Process if you are a pharmacist who qualified in a Non-EU/EEA country, regardless of your nationality.
