Visas For Republic of Ireland

Indian national visitors to the Republic of Ireland require an Irish visa.

Republic of Ireland Visa Procedures:

Going to Ireland has become simpler. A new online visa application facility for Ireland is now available to Indian tourists.

Applicants can apply on line in the visa section of the site www.visas.inis.gov.ie. They can complete their application form on line from the comforts of their home or office and receive a unique application number. Once this is completed they will receive a printed summary which directs them to www.inis.gov.ie in order to check what documentation is required.

Applicants can then follow this up by submitting their passports and supporting documentation to their nearest Irish Consulate (Mumbai/Bangalore), VFS offices (Chandigarh /Jalandhar /Delhi /Kolkata / Hyderabad /Chennai/Cochin) or the Irish Embassy in New Delhi.

The visa takes usually about 7 days to get processed.
