Frequently asked questions
How much does a student immigration consultation 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 is Stamp 2 permission in Ireland?
Stamp 2 is the immigration permission generally granted to non-EEA nationals studying a full-time course in Ireland. It comes with conditions, including limits on working hours, so it is worth understanding them before you rely on them.
Can I stay in Ireland after I finish my studies?
Some graduates of Irish third-level institutions may be eligible for post-study options, depending on their qualification and circumstances. A solicitor can review your situation and explain which options may apply to you.
