Legacy IIP work is evidence work. The route is closed, so the question is no longer whether to start an application. The question is whether an existing file, approval, project, or residence permission is documented well enough for the next decision.
Legacy File Checklist
| Evidence Area | What To Confirm |
|---|---|
| Official correspondence | Application date, reference numbers, closure-era correspondence, approval conditions |
| Investor identity | Passport history, family records, name changes, residence cards |
| Source of funds | Bank trail, business sale, dividends, inheritance, tax-paid position, sanctions screening |
| Project documents | Subscription agreement, offering documents, escrow, reporting, repayment, governance |
| Residence permission | Permission type, registration history, expiry dates, renewals |
| Dependants | Which family members were included and under what evidence |
| Exit position | Whether investment exit affects permission, contractual rights, or tax |
Main Risks
| Risk | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Missing project records | Harder to prove compliance after years have passed |
| Expired permission | May require a different immigration strategy |
| Unclear dependant status | Family members can have different evidence and registration issues |
| Tax mismatch | Residence and investment returns can create filing obligations |
| Alternative-route drift | A person may need STEP, employment permission, study, family, or another Irish basis instead |
Practical Sequence
- Gather the complete historic immigration file.
- Map every approval condition to evidence.
- Reconcile investment documents against bank transfers and project statements.
- Check current residence permission and family cards.
- Review tax, banking, and exit consequences before unwinding any investment.
- If the file is no longer usable, compare current Irish alternatives.
