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.

It is for non-EEA residents who are unsure about the conditions of their permission, or who are planning a change such as a new job, a course or a family member joining them.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an immigration status review 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.
What can I do under my immigration stamp?
Each stamp has its own conditions, for example on whether you can work, study or access certain supports. The review explains the conditions that apply to your permission in plain English.
What if my permission is about to expire?
You should act before it expires. The review will explain your route forward, including renewal or a change of permission where that is possible.
