Terms and conditions

About these terms

These terms apply when you use onpath.ie (the website), run by On Path, 26 Upper Pembroke Street, Dublin D02 X361. By using the website, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use it. Questions: hello@onpath.ie.

What On Path is, and isn’t

On Path is an independent, privately run website. We are not part of, or connected to, the Government of Ireland, Immigration Service Delivery (ISD), the Department of Justice, the Department of Foreign Affairs or any other public body. We can’t make, influence or speed up any decision on an application, and using the website doesn’t create any relationship between you and a public body.

Information, not legal advice

Our guides and tools explain how immigration and citizenship processes work, for general information. They are not legal advice and don’t take account of your full circumstances. Rules, fees and processing times change, and official bodies sometimes publish different information in different places.

We check each guide against official sources and show the date it was last reviewed, but we can’t promise that everything is complete, correct or up to date when you read it. Before you act, especially on a deadline, check the current position with the relevant authority, or get advice from a qualified adviser such as a solicitor.

Our tools

Planners, checkers and calculators work out results from what you enter and from the rules as we understand them. Their results are estimates. Check important dates yourself, and don’t rely on a tool alone for anything with a deadline, like renewing a permission or applying for citizenship.

Using the website

• The website is free, and you don’t need an account.
• You can read, print and share our pages for your own, non-commercial use, and link to any page.
• Please don’t copy our guides or tools wholesale, present them as your own, or use them in a commercial product without our written permission.
• Don’t misuse the website: no attempts to break, overload or get unauthorised access to it, and no automated collection of content at a rate that affects other users.

Our content

The text, design, illustrations and tools on the website belong to On Path, apart from material that belongs to others. Official information we refer to belongs to the bodies that publish it, and we link to their pages as our sources. Our icons are from Phosphor Icons (MIT licence) and our fonts, Instrument Serif and Figtree, are used under the SIL Open Font Licence.

Links to other websites

We link to official and other websites so you can check our sources. We’re not responsible for their content, and a link doesn’t mean we endorse them.

Our responsibility to you

As far as the law allows, we are not liable for any loss or damage that comes from using the website or relying on its content, including missed deadlines, refused or delayed applications, or problems when travelling. We don’t guarantee that the website will always be available or free of errors.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes any liability that the law doesn’t allow us to limit or exclude, or affects your rights as a consumer.

Changes

We may change the website, or stop offering parts of it, at any time. We may also update these terms: the date at the top shows when they last changed, and the version on this page applies when you use the website.

Law and disputes

These terms are governed by Irish law, and the Irish courts deal with any dispute. If you live elsewhere as a consumer, you keep any protection your own country’s law gives you.
