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.
OnlineLegalServices.ie is operated by Plus Promotions Limited, which is not a solicitor’s practice and does not give legal advice. To instruct a regulated practice, use the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.
Work of this kind is carried out by a solicitor regulated by the Law Society of Ireland. We are not a solicitor’s practice and do not provide it — to instruct a solicitor, use the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory. It is typically used for eligibility checks, quick scoping of an application, or a second opinion before you commit to a full instruction. If the consultation runs over because your matter is complex, you can upgrade to a 30 or 60-minute slot or proceed to a full instruction, with fees credited. If appropriate, the allotted time will instead be given to answering your questions by email.
What’s included
- A scheduled 15-minute video call
- solicitor-handled discussion of your circumstances and options
- Plain-English written summary of next steps
- Where appropriate, the allotted time may instead be given to answering your questions by email
Who this is for
- People who need a clear answer on whether they qualify for a route such as a Critical Skills permit, Stamp 4, citizenship or family reunification

- People considering a full instruction
How it works
- Find a solicitor through the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory and send them the basic details and any existing documents or correspondence.
- Complete a short questionnaire about your circumstances.
- You pick a slot and join the video call, bringing any relevant documents.
- You receive a written follow-up with recommended next steps.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a 15-minute immigration consultation cost?
The price shown is the full professional fee for the service as described; any third-party or State fees are listed separately where they apply.
What if my question needs more than 15 minutes?
You can upgrade to a 30 or 60-minute slot or proceed to a full instruction, with fees applied credited. This means you only pay for the time your matter needs.
What should I bring?
Your passport, current permission and any decisions or correspondence relevant to your question. Having these ready lets the solicitor use the short time on your options rather than background.
