CORK, IRELAND – 5 June 2025 – Fragomen, the world’s leading provider of immigration services, has opened a second office in Ireland further expanding its footprint across the country to better serve clients in the southern and western regions of the country. The new office in Cork enables Fragomen to offer enhanced, locally informed support to clients across the southern and western regions, where demand for global mobility services is flourishing.

With a stronger presence in Cork, the firm is poised to deliver even more targeted and responsive support for clients navigating increasingly complex international mobility needs,” noted George Koureas, Managing Partner, Europe.   

“This region boasts exceptional talent, and positioning a team in Cork underscores our commitment to investing in people and delivering best-in-class service,” added Cumiskey. “We look forward to building deeper partnerships with clients and the local community as we continue to expand our footprint.”
