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 supporting documentation review in Ireland is a solicitor’s check of the documents you plan to submit with an immigration application. This service reviews relationship evidence, financial records and employment letters to ensure they meet decision-maker standards. It is for applicants and sponsors who want their evidence checked before submission, so that gaps can be filled and weak documents replaced. 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 documentation 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 makes supporting evidence strong?
Strong evidence is relevant, consistent, recent and from reliable sources. It should directly show what the decision-maker needs, such as a genuine relationship or sufficient finances.
Does a document review guarantee approval?
No. The decision rests with the immigration authorities. A review helps make your evidence as complete and consistent as possible. It also reduces the risk of a refusal caused by avoidable gaps.
