What actus business immigration does

Actus Business Immigration Ltd. is an Ireland-based immigration and visa consultancy founded in 2004 and headquartered in Swords, Co. Dublin. The firm specializes in Irish employment permits (Critical Skills, General, Intra-Company Transfer, Atypical Working Authorisation), visa application support, post-arrival residency and Irish Residence Permit registration, family reunification, naturalisation and long-term residency (Stamp 4/5), and Trusted Partner registrations with the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment. It serves businesses hiring non-EU/EEA talent, individual employees and their families, and global mobility/HR teams managing international assignments into and out of Ireland.

The practice operates as a traditional professional services firm with no disclosed technology platform; service delivery is handled by senior case workers, principally Tom Ryan (Senior Immigration & Visa Specialist with nearly 30 years of immigration law experience) and Ellis McKechnie (Immigration Specialist with 20 years of experience, including prior government agency background). Business is generated through direct consultation (phone/email), a content-marketing website (actus.ie) with regularly updated regulatory commentary, and a referral network spanning overseas immigration firms (Fakhoury Global Immigration, Graham Adair, Agile Immigration) and Dublin-based relocation/accountancy partners (Cronin Group, Cregan Accountants, Xeinadin, Santa Fe Relocation). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue is not reported. The firm holds Trusted Partner status with DETE since 2015 and has been part of the Employment Permit Stakeholder Group since its inception, and claims a 100% success rate in corporate and business applications.
