''After arriving in Ireland I found the immigration process to be more than a little complicated, however after contacting Ellis and Tom at Actus Business Immigration Ltd, they made the entire process very straight forward and handled every detail with the utmost professionalism. I would have no trouble in recommending them to anybody who is looking to gain an Irish work visa or Green Card''.

JJ Aluminium Ltd. Monahan
JJ Aluminium Ltd. Specialise in Aluminium construction projects at heights of 60 meters plus. The Company has worked on major Irish construction projects, including Grand Central Quay, Dublin and formed partnerships with giants of the Irish industry.
A key opportunity recently presented with the regeneration of Heuston Square and Victoria Quay, Dublin. Exciting plans detailed Signature buildings of significant height, emulating Continental examples and new to Dublin.
Rapid company growth lay ahead, effectively quadrupling turn over in six months. I urgently required a high calibre team with exceptional skills to rise to the challenge.
Despite my best efforts I could not locate suitable staff within the EU/EEA and faced losing contracts. A team of world renowned experts in the industry then expressed an interest in working for JJ Aluminium on the projects.
They were a Filipino team working in Kuwait. I faced the complex and time consuming task of trying to acquire work permits and visas, plus liaising with Kuwait. It was too costly in terms of Company time and resources. I considered shelving the plan.
I was directed to Actus Business Immigration Ltd. as problem solvers in this area. They are actually the only Company specialising solely in Irish immigration procedure and are based in Ireland.
I did find it a difficult process and felt very anxious along the way. I particularly liked the fact that Actus staff were always calm, easily contactable and available at all times to talk, deal with my fears and answer any difficult questions.
They secured the work permits in three weeks and the visas in three working days.
My team are now here and busy on site. I can not recommend Actus highly enough. They are fast, effective and good value.

Ryan's Cleaning Events Specialist Ltd.
Thurlos
Ryan's Cleaning are Ireland's biggest contractor in the area of event and specialist cleaning services. The Company handles Ireland's major events and festivals and has broken into the UK market.
We recently saw an opportunity for Company expansion with the increase of buildings using large scale structural glazing at height. These buildings require specialist abseiling window cleaners; it is a new market to Ireland.
Despite an extensive recruitment campaign, we could not find the specialist staff required with the requisite training and safety management skills. Eventually we located a non EU specialist in the area, who matched the job description perfectly.
We applied for a work permit only to suffer a rebuttal. As an Irish Company, we were determined to secure this new market for the indigenous business sector and make it more difficult for non Irish firms to target this area.
We engaged the services of Actus Business Immigration Ltd. to deal with this problem. They examined and researched the issue in great depth, liaising with all appropriate bodies, including the Health and Safety Authority.
Actus carefully prepared a set of arguments detailing the specific mix of skills and industry standards demanded by the role. They presented the arguments with great success and a permit was issued.
We found Actus to be highly skilled and effective. They charged a flat fee which covered all work undertaken. They are Ireland's specialist in the area of immigration procedure and have an impressive knowledge, we recommend them.

Kuvera Ireland Ltd.
I would recommend using Actus Business Immigration Ltd. for all your visa/work permit applications to anyone. My experience with them was one of complete satisfaction. They were so professional and helpful. They came back with a quick response any time I had any queries and looked after the application from start to finish perfectly without me having to worry about anything.

R&B Catering, West Wicklow
R&B Catering was developed out of our large and thriving pub and restaurant, West Wicklow House. This is located in Blessington, bordering the beautiful regions of West Wicklow and North Kildare.
R&B aimed to achieve excellent quality and service in West Wicklow House and to aggressively develop an outside catering business. The plan was successful and huge potential for expansion was presenting in the catering business.
Staffing had increased from eight to twenty and rising, projected turn over was rising dramatically. The portfolio of events catering was becoming large and diverse, with many major Irish based events using R&B Catering.
This vast leap required a key Senior Operations Manager with many years experience and skilled at driving the business. Despite our best efforts we could not find a suitable candidate.
We then located a South African with the right skills whom we trusted to assist in running and developing our business. He required a work permit and we found this a daunting task, so we approached Actus Business Immigration Ltd.
Actus dealt with all aspects of the work permit and immigration issues. They made extensive submissions to represent our case and dealt with all matters which arose, including efforts by the Irish authorities to reject the application.
We got our work permit and our new Manager is now active in taking R&B Catering to the next level. We heartily recommend Actus Business Immigration, they really go the extra mile.

INDNAP Consultancy
Dublin
INDNAP is a successful Irish Trading House that deals with the vast South Asian trading area. The Company deals mainly in the textile and construction industries.
The potential for phenomenal Company growth presented this year with the creation of the South Asian Free Trade Area [SAFTA]. This allows Irish businesses trading with one member State to access the entire block.
As an international Trading House, INDNAP receives frequent business visits from our South Asian partners. This means frequent business visas are required, their acquisition is business critical.
I had tried to acquire these in the past and found it a difficult and time consuming task: Dealing with Irish State authorities, Irish Embassies/ Consulates and overseas partners.
I had been looking for an immigration specialist in Ireland, when I saw an advert for Actus Business Immigration Ltd. They are the sole service provider working exclusively in the area of Irish visa procedure.
They now handle the immigration and visa acquisition for INDNAP and I am delighted with the service provided. Actus are fast, effective, discrete and value for money. I would not hesitate in recommending them.

Fisherman's Weir, Easkey
The Fisherman's Weir is now a popular pub and bed & breakfast in Easkey, on the beautiful Sligo Coast. We had been investigating owning a pub on Ireland's West Coast for some time. As a growing surf destination, we saw huge potential in Easkey and set about realising our dream.
As Australian citizens we required Business Permission from the Irish Government to establish a business in Ireland. This is a lengthy and bureaucratic process, requiring time and concentration.
We were still located in Australia whilst planning our future business and life changing move to Ireland. We simply had too much on our plates to handle obtaining the Business Permission.
We found Actus Business Immigration Ltd. on the internet and engaged their services in handling the acquisition of Business Permission in the Irish State. They are the only immigration specialist based in Ireland and dealing solely with the Irish system.
We were delighted to have Actus handle the matter of Business Permission. The communication was excellent, they liaised with all parties involved and offered sound guidance on our business plan. The fee was upfront and included all services.
We moved to Ireland in 2005 and are proud to be the proprietors of The Fisherman's Weir. It is a thriving and lively business with great reviews in the Irish Press. We recommend Actus Business Immigration as specialist in Irish immigration procedure.

DIFC was set up in Dublin in 1999 to run specialised foundation courses to prepare international students for entry to UK and Irish universities, at both under graduate and post graduate level.

DIFC has become renowned for very high quality foundation courses. As a result NCUK has selected DIFC as its exclusive delivery centre in Ireland for NCUK courses: International Foundation Year (IFY) and Pre-Masters Programme (PMP).
Due to their academic credibility and quality assurance procedures, successful completion of NCUK courses guarantees students a place on a degree course in their chosen subject of study.
DIFC has seen phenomenal success and growth since its creation, with 3000 students on our Dublin campus and a new centre in Galway. Many of our students require visas to study in Ireland, and realise their education and career plans.
Acquiring a student visa can be a complex and lengthy task. As a result, we have directed students to Actus Business Immigration Ltd. They have over 10 years experience in assisting non EU students obtain visas and are expert in this area.
