Frequently asked questions
How much does an employer immigration pack 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 are an employer’s immigration obligations in Ireland?
Employers in Ireland must make sure that non-EEA employees have valid permission to work in the State, and must comply with the conditions of any employment permits they hold. Clear policies and records help show that you are meeting these obligations.
What is a compliance audit checklist for?
It gives your HR team a structured way to check permissions, expiry dates and records at regular intervals, so that issues can be found and dealt with early.
