An immigration permission appeal in Ireland challenges a decision to refuse or revoke your immigration permission.

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.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an immigration permission appeal cost in Ireland?
Fees for work of this kind are typically set on application: a solicitor would typically confirm the fee once the matter has been reviewed and before any work begins. Any third-party or State fees are listed separately where they apply.
Can I appeal a refusal of immigration permission in Ireland?
Many refusals and revocations can be reviewed or appealed, and the decision letter usually explains the options and any time limit. It is important to act promptly, as a late appeal may not be accepted.
What makes an immigration appeal stronger?
A strong appeal responds directly to each refusal ground, backed by clear and relevant evidence. a solicitor would analyse the refusal and advise on the evidence most likely to address the concerns raised, although no outcome can be guaranteed.
