We explain the relevant routes and the documents each application requires.

Catch problems before submission

We explain the submission steps and review any outstanding questions with you.

Read about the requirements, fees and application process for each route, with links to official sources.

The letter of application

Your letter should explain why you are travelling, how the visit will be funded and any circumstances that need clarification. We check that it is accurate and consistent with your supporting documents.

What your bank statements need to show

Financial evidence should show the funds available for your stay and where they came from. We check the statements for the required period and identify transactions that may need an explanation.

Common questions

Does a visa guarantee entry to Ireland?

A visa allows you to travel to Ireland. The immigration officer at the border decides whether to admit you, and permission to remain is a separate requirement.

Do I need a visa at all?

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and circumstances. Our guides link to the Department of Justice's visa requirements, and we can explain the application process for your planned visit.
