Frequently asked questions
How much does immigration compliance training for employers cost in Ireland?
This page is a free guide — nothing on it is for sale. Solicitors set their own fees for this work and must give you a written costs estimate (a section 150 letter) before starting. Get quotes through the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.
Why do Irish employers need immigration compliance training?
Employers in Ireland must make sure that non-EEA employees have valid permission to work in the State. Training helps HR teams check permissions consistently, track expiry dates and keep records that stand up to scrutiny.
What does audit-readiness mean for employers?
Audit-readiness means having records and processes in place so that, if your immigration compliance is examined, you can show how you checked and recorded each employee’s permission to work. The training covers what good record-keeping looks like in practice.
