Ireland Visa Information

Tourist Visa Options & Entry Rules for Visiting Ireland

Ireland, known for its green landscapes, castles, and vibrant cities like Dublin and Galway, has specific entry rules depending on a traveler’s nationality. Many visitors—especially from visa-exempt countries—can enter Ireland without a visa for short tourism stays, making travel flexible and convenient.

Those who require authorization must apply for an Irish Short Stay ‘C’ Tourist Visa, which typically permits stays of up to 90 days for leisure, sightseeing, and visiting family or friends. Applicants generally need a valid passport, confirmed travel plans, accommodation proof, and evidence of sufficient funds for the duration of their visit.

Travelers planning to stay longer or for purposes other than tourism—such as work, study, or family reunification—must apply for the appropriate long-stay visa or residence permission. Ireland is not part of the Schengen Area, so Schengen visas are not valid for entry into the country.

Possibly — it depends on your nationality. Citizens of many countries (especially in EU/EEA, UK, and several others) can travel to Ireland without a visa.

If you get a short-stay (Type C) visa or qualify for visa-free travel, you can stay in Ireland for up to 90 days per visit.

You need a valid passport (generally valid for at least 6 months beyond planned departure, with at least two blank pages).
