Question 1

Can the AI Assistant give me legal advice?

Accepted Answer

The AI assistant can provide general immigration information to help you understand Irish immigration processes, application procedures, and common pathways under Irish law.

Accepted Answer

Our AI assistant is built on trusted Irish immigration information and is regularly updated to reflect current immigration law and ISD procedures. However, every immigration case is unique, and specific details can significantly affect your eligibility and options. For complex matters or when you need certainty about your immigration position, we recommend speaking with a qualified Irish immigration solicitor.
