Stuck, in limbo, or worried sick about your status?

An application sitting for months, a permit tied to your job, a card that's expired — it can feel like your whole life is on hold, with no real person to talk to. There is one here. We're an established Dublin firm and we'll tell you honestly where you stand, what we can do, and what it costs.

Whatever your immigration issue, we can help.

  • IRP & Stamp renewals — filed correctly and on time, with employer letters to protect your job while you wait.
  • Citizenship and work permits — assessed honestly and done right the first time.
  • Family reunification and refusals — handled sensitively, and urgently when deadlines are short.

A qualified solicitor will answer your call.

Don't wait until your permission lapses

IRP renewals are taking far longer than the old 6-week target. Apply early and correctly to protect your right to work and travel.

IRP expiring — or already expired?

Your card's run out and your employer is asking questions. We file your renewal correctly and on time, and give you proof-of-application letters to protect your job while you wait.

  • Filed correctly and on time — avoiding the costly “applied after expiry” mistake.
  • Employer proof-of-application letters while you wait.
  • Escalation, including judicial review, where a delay is unreasonable.

A qualified solicitor will answer your call.

Renewals are taking far longer than the old 6-week target — apply up to 12 weeks before expiry to protect your right to work and travel.

Bringing your family to Ireland?

Spouse, partner, child or Join Family — handled sensitively and in complete confidence. We'll tell you honestly whether you meet the financial test before you spend a euro.

  • An honest assessment of the income threshold (€75,000 over 3 years since June 2026) before you apply.
  • Building the “genuine and durable relationship” evidence ISD accepts.
  • Sensitive, confidential handling — no judgement.

A qualified solicitor will answer your call.

Since 12 June 2026, an Irish-citizen sponsor must show €75,000 gross income over the previous 3 years (€25,000 per year), above State benefits.

Every other immigration matter, covered.

Visa applications

Long-stay and join-family visa applications and renewals, prepared properly the first time.

Foreign Birth Registration

Irish citizenship by descent for people living in Ireland — we'll guide the paperwork.

Got a refusal, or a deadline coming up?

If a refusal letter has arrived or a deadline is looming, the sooner we see it, the more we can do. Talk to us today — for some applications the time to act is short.

Since 1 June 2026, most short-stay (Type C) visa refusals — tourism, business or family visits, and short courses — can no longer be appealed; you must submit a fresh application. There's no second chance, so the first application has to be right. (Family members covered by the EU Free Movement Directive keep their right of appeal.)

A qualified solicitor will answer your call.
