What this service covers
The Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland (PSI) is the regulatory body for pharmacists in Ireland. Before you can practise pharmacy in Ireland, you must register with the PSI and meet their qualification and character requirements.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to take the PSI Registration Examination?
It depends on where you qualified. Pharmacists from India and most non-EEA countries typically need to pass the PSI Registration Examination. If your qualification was assessed as substantially different from Irish standards, you must sit this exam. We assess your specific situation during the initial consultation and confirm whether you need the exam.
How long does PSI registration take?
The timeline varies based on your route. Document verification and initial assessment typically take 8-12 weeks. If you need the PSI exam, add 4-6 months for exam preparation and sitting. Total timeline from application to registration ranges from 3-9 months depending on your qualification and exam requirements.
What are the PSI registration fees?
PSI charges an application fee (currently around €650) plus annual retention fees once registered. If you need to sit the PSI Registration Examination, there's an additional exam fee of approximately €1,000. We'll confirm exact current fees based on your application date — contact us on WhatsApp for the latest information.
Can I work in Ireland while waiting for PSI registration?
No, you cannot practise pharmacy in Ireland until you receive full PSI registration. You must wait for your registration certificate before you can dispense medicines or work in a pharmacy capacity. Some candidates use this time to complete the exam (if required) or arrange accommodation and immigration documents.
What happens if my PSI application is rejected?
PSI rarely rejects applications outright — they typically request additional information or clarification. If your qualification assessment requires you to sit the exam, that's a standard pathway, not a rejection. Medisol's 98% approval rate reflects our thorough document preparation. If issues arise, we work with you to address PSI's concerns and resubmit.
Do I need IELTS or other English language proof?
Yes, PSI requires evidence of English language competency. You typically need IELTS Academic with a minimum score of 7.0 in each component, or equivalent (OET, TOEFL). If you completed your pharmacy degree in English, PSI may accept a letter from your university confirming English as the medium of instruction, but IELTS is the safest route.
