Family Immigration Solicitors in Ireland
Helping families reunite and stay together in Ireland. Whether you are an Irish citizen sponsoring a non-EU spouse, an EU national exercising Treaty Rights, or a non-EEA resident seeking to bring family members to Ireland, we provide clear, compassionate legal advice at every stage.
Your consultation will answer:
- "I am living in Ireland — how do I bring my spouse or partner here to live with me?"
- "My family reunification application was refused — can I appeal and what are my actual options?"
- "I am an EU citizen in Ireland — what rights does my non-EU spouse have and how do they apply?"
- "How long will my spouse have to wait before they can work in Ireland after joining me here?"

What Your Solicitor Helps to Protect Against
Family immigration applications are refused most often because of the wrong route, insufficient documentation or failure to meet financial requirements.
01
Wrong Application Route
Applying under the wrong category — one of the most common reasons for refusal.
02
Weak Relationship Evidence
Insufficient evidence of the relationship for spouse, partner or dependent applications.
03
Financial Shortfalls
Failing to meet or correctly present the applicable financial requirements.
04
Incomplete Documentation
Applications returned or refused for missing or understated evidence.
05
Missed Appeal Deadlines
Losing appeal rights after a refusal because deadlines were not acted on quickly.
06
No Long-Term Plan
Securing initial permission without planning the pathway to residence and citizenship.

Meet Your Solicitor
Tamoor Barlas
Solicitor
I am a solicitor based in Dublin 15. Alongside my commercial practice, I advise individuals, families and businesses on Irish immigration pathways — from employment permits and residency through to family reunification and citizenship.
Relocation is more than a visa application. The people I advise are often making one of the most significant legal and financial decisions of their lives. I combine immigration counsel with tax and corporate insight so your move to Ireland is planned as a whole, not in isolated filings.
Because I practise as both a solicitor and a tax, I can advise on immigration status and the tax consequences of becoming Irish-resident in one engagement — reducing duplication and closing the gap between legal permission and financial planning.
“My job is to take the immigration and tax complexity off your hands — so you can focus on building your life in Ireland.”
Frequently Asked Questions
The process depends on whether the spouse is applying from outside Ireland or is already here. Sponsors must demonstrate the genuineness of the relationship, financial capacity and suitable accommodation. We advise on the full process and prepare the application.
EU Treaty Rights allow non-EU family members of EU citizens exercising free movement rights in Ireland to join and remain with them. Qualifying family members include spouses, civil partners, dependent children and dependent parents.
Requirements depend on the route — Irish citizen sponsorship, non-EEA sponsorship or EU Treaty Rights. We advise on the specific threshold for your application and how to present the evidence correctly.
It depends on the route and stamp granted. Spouses of Critical Skills permit holders and many EU Treaty Rights family members can work. We advise on the working rights your spouse will receive.
A refusal can often be appealed or challenged. Deadlines are strict. We review the refusal, identify grounds for challenge and manage the appeal or fresh application.
Yes, in some circumstances. De facto partner applications require strong evidence of a genuine, stable and committed relationship. We advise on eligibility and evidence.
