Work & Business Immigration Solicitors in Ireland
Helping employers and employees navigate Irish work and business immigration — from Critical Skills and General Employment Permits to intra-company transfers, Stamp 1G graduate permission and business permission routes.
Your consultation will answer:
- "What employment permit do I need to work in Ireland — and does my role qualify for Critical Skills?"
- "I am an employer hiring a non-EEA national — what are my obligations and which permit route applies?"
- "Can I move from a student or Stamp 1G permission onto a work permit?"
- "What happens if an employment permit application is refused — can it be reviewed or appealed?"

What Your Solicitor Helps to Protect Against
Work permit refusals often arise from the wrong route, incomplete evidence or employer compliance gaps.
01
Wrong Permit Category
Applying under General Employment when Critical Skills may apply — or the reverse.
02
Salary / Role Mismatch
Applications refused because salary, duties or qualifications do not meet the chosen route.
03
Incomplete Employer Evidence
Missing company, vacancy or labour market documentation.
04
Compliance Breaches
Employers exposing themselves to enforcement risk through poor permit management.
05
Missed Transition Windows
Letting Stamp 1G or student permission expire before a work permit is secured.
06
No Long-Term Plan
Focusing only on the first permit without planning Stamp 4 and family options.
We identify the correct route before any application is prepared — and manage the full process for employers and employees.

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
It is a permit for highly skilled roles on the Critical Skills Occupations List, generally with faster processing and a clearer path to Stamp 4 for the permit holder and eligible family members.
General Employment Permits apply where Critical Skills criteria are not met and often involve additional labour market considerations. We advise on which route fits your role.
Yes, in many cases. Stamp 1G is designed to bridge graduation and employment. We advise on timing and the correct permit category.
Employers must ensure the correct permit is in place, maintain required records and comply with employment and immigration conditions. We advise on compliance throughout.
Many refusals can be reviewed or appealed. We examine the refusal reasons and advise on the best next step.
Critical Skills applications often take around 4–8 weeks, but times vary with DETE workload and application completeness. We advise on current timelines at the outset.
