Stamp 4 renewal assistance in Ireland helps people who hold Stamp 4 permission to renew it with the right information and documents in place.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Stamp 4 renewal assistance 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 documents do I need to renew Stamp 4?
The documents needed depend on the basis of your Stamp 4 permission and your circumstances, but usually include your passport, current IRP card and evidence supporting your continued eligibility. a solicitor would tell you exactly what is needed in your case.
What happens if my Stamp 4 renewal is refused?
A refusal letter normally explains the reasons for the decision and any review or appeal options. Preparing the renewal carefully in advance helps reduce the risk of refusal, although the decision always rests with the immigration authorities and no outcome can be guaranteed.
