Quick Answers
Does a permit guarantee entry?
No. An employment permit, an entry visa and immigration permission serve different purposes. Check the requirements for each stage.
Is the introductory conversation the paid consultation?
No. The introductory conversation is free for 30 minutes. The paid preparation consultation costs €100 for 40 minutes.
Can AIMarketer.ie guarantee approval?
No. The service provides general information and preparation assistance, not legal advice, immigration advice or representation. Decisions rest with the relevant authorities.
