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.

A 30-minute immigration consultation with an Irish solicitor is an online call to talk through your immigration plans across multiple routes. It is long enough to discuss a strategy covering, for example, an employment permit, Stamp 4 and a citizenship timeline, family reunification with dependants, or how to respond to a refusal. 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. If appropriate, the allotted time will instead be given to answering your questions by email.
