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.

An immigration strategy consultation in Ireland is a comprehensive 90-minute consultation with a solicitor for multi-route, multi-applicant or complex immigration matters. The consultation is followed by a written strategy memo. It is for individuals, families and employers facing a complicated immigration picture who need a coordinated plan rather than advice on one application at a time. If appropriate, the allotted time will instead be given to answering your questions by email.
