Choosing support for an Irish immigration application
What to expect from application preparation, how to agree the scope of the work, and what to check before appointing an immigration adviser.
Professional preparation helps you organise the documents for an Irish immigration application and check that the information is complete and consistent. Before appointing an adviser, agree what the service covers and what you will need to do yourself.
Preparing the supporting documents
An application needs documents that address the published requirements for the route. Passport validity, employment details, residence history and financial evidence all need careful checking where they are required.
For example, the job title on an employment contract should agree with the application form, and a bank statement should identify the relevant account holder. Any gap in the residence history needs to be identified and explained.
We help organise these documents and check for missing information or discrepancies before you submit the application.
Agreeing the scope of the service
Ask for the proposed work in writing before you proceed. It should explain which application is being prepared, what the adviser will check and which tasks remain your responsibility.
We confirm whether we can assist at the outset. You review the completed application, confirm that the information is accurate, and sign and submit it yourself. This includes citizenship applications.
Where a route allows correspondence through an authorised adviser, we can agree that arrangement with you in writing.
Understanding the quote
Government fees are set by the State and are separate from the professional fee for preparing an application. A quote should distinguish between them and explain what the professional fee covers.
Compare the work included in each quote, including document checks and any agreed correspondence with the Department. Confirm these details before appointing an adviser.
Getting started
Contact us with the type of application you are considering and any relevant deadlines. We will discuss the support you need and confirm the proposed work before you proceed. Consultations and correspondence are in English.
Common questions
What will you do on my application?
We explain the published requirements, help prepare the supporting documents and check the application for omissions or inconsistencies. You review, sign and submit your application. Where the route permits it and you authorise us, we can correspond with the Department on your behalf.
How do I know I am dealing with someone reliable?
Ask for a written scope of work, a full quote showing government fees separately, and confirmation of who is responsible for each stage. These details help you compare services and understand what you are paying for.
Can a consultant deal with the Department for me?
Where the route allows it, an adviser can correspond with the Department with written authorisation. We confirm those arrangements as part of the scope of work. You remain responsible for reviewing, signing and submitting your application.
Will you confirm whether you can help before I pay?
Yes. We discuss your enquiry and confirm the work we can undertake before you agree to proceed. Consultations and correspondence are in English.
