Guide only — this matter needs a solicitor. Under Irish law this work must be carried out by a solicitor, so it is not sold on this site. The information below explains what is involved so you can brief a solicitor with confidence.

The English Language Student Immigration Pack is a solicitor-handled service in Ireland for students attending an English language course on the Interim List of Eligible Programmes (ILEP). It covers eligibility, the visa application and Stamp 2A registration. Solicitors set their own fees for this work and must give you a written costs estimate before starting.
What’s included
- solicitor-handled immigration support for English Language students attending an Interim List course in Ireland
- ILEP eligibility
- Visa application
- Stamp 2A registration
Who this is for
This pack is typically used by people in situations such as these:
- A student from outside the EEA who plans to study English in Ireland
- A person who has been offered a place on a course and wants to check it is on the Interim List
- A student who needs help with the visa application before travelling
- A student who has arrived and needs to complete Stamp 2A registration
Every matter is different, so a short questionnaire and a solicitor’s review would typically confirm that this service suits your circumstances before the work goes further. Please have your key details and documents to hand when you contact a solicitor, and if you are unsure whether this is the right service, mention that in your enquiry so it can be discussed with you at the outset.
How it works

- Complete a short questionnaire with your details and the background to your matter.
- A solicitor reviews your matter and checks your ILEP eligibility and prepares your visa application and Stamp 2A registration support.
