Anyone searching for an immigration law solicitor in Greystones is usually dealing with a specific, practical problem: a permission that needs renewing, a visa application that has stalled, or a family member waiting on a decision. We act for clients across County Wicklow, including Greystones, Delgany and Kilcoole, through Mary Molloy & Company Solicitors, with matters here handled by Richard O’Shea.

Residency, Renewals and Family Cases We Handle for Greystones Clients

The immigration matters that come to us from this part of County Wicklow tend to fall into a small number of categories. People need an existing permission or residency status renewed before it expires. Others are starting a family reunification application, often because a spouse, parent or child is waiting outside the State and wants to join family already living and working in Ireland. We also hear from people whose entry visa or preclearance application has not gone the way they expected, or who have received a decision they believe does not reflect their circumstances correctly.

In some cases the issue is a refusal, and the question becomes whether a judicial review of the decision is appropriate. That is a specific and limited remedy, and whether it applies at all depends on the facts of the case and the current law. We set out what is involved plainly during a consultation rather than making assumptions from a short description of the problem.

From Your First Enquiry to a Working Application

We work with clients from Greystones in the same way we work with clients anywhere else in Ireland: by letter, phone and email, and by arranging appointments where a face to face meeting is useful. There is no need to travel to an office before we have had an initial conversation about what you need. You can get in touch through the contact page on our website and outline the situation, and we will tell you what documents and information we are likely to need to move things forward.

Every case starts with the same basic groundwork: confirming your current immigration status, gathering the supporting documents relevant to the application in question, and agreeing a realistic order of steps. We will not quote you a fee until we understand what the work actually involves, and we explain what affects cost, such as the type of application and whether supporting evidence needs to be gathered, before any work begins.

Serving Greystones, Delgany, Kilcoole and the North Wicklow Coast

Greystones sits on the County Wicklow coast, with Delgany about two kilometres away, Kilcoole around four kilometres along the coast road, and Kilmacanogue a short distance further north. The town itself is roughly eighteen kilometres north of Wicklow town, within County Wicklow in Leinster. We take instructions from clients throughout this area and across the wider county, whether the matter concerns a renewal, a family reunification case, or a query about an entry visa.

Wherever you are based along this stretch of coast, from Greystones itself out to Delgany or Kilcoole, the process we follow is the same: an initial conversation to understand the situation, a clear note of what we need from you, and regular contact while the application is prepared.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to visit an office to start an immigration application?

No. We can discuss your situation and gather the information we need by phone, email or letter, and arrange a meeting if that would be helpful. Contact us through the website to begin.

How long does a residency permit renewal usually take?

Timescales depend on the type of permission, the supporting documents available and current processing times, which change from case to case. We can give you a realistic sense of the likely steps once we understand your situation.

Can you help if my visa or preclearance application has already been refused?

We can review the decision and explain the options available, which may include a fresh application or, in some circumstances, a judicial review. Whether judicial review is appropriate depends on the facts and the current law, and we discuss this in detail during a consultation.
