Good to know

Short-stay Irish visas permit up to 90 days; longer stays require a 'D' (long-stay) visa applied for before travel. The immigration officer at the port of entry decides the actual length of stay granted.
Published indicative fees: single-journey visa €60, multiple-journey visa €100, transit visa €25 (additional administration/communication charges may apply).
Some nationalities may qualify for the Visa Waiver Programme (travel on to Ireland from the UK without a separate Irish visa, Schedule 2) or the British-Irish Visa Scheme (Schedule 3); eligibility is nationality-specific.
Full visa-required/visa-exempt nationality lists are maintained by Immigration Service Delivery at irishimmigration.ie (Schedule 1) — check there for a specific passport before travel.
