It does not guarantee permission to enter Ireland. Permission to enter Ireland is granted by an Immigration Officer at the port of entry\n\nIn Ireland, [Immigration Service Delivery](https:\/\/www.irishimmigration.ie\/), an Office of the Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration is primarily responsible for dealing with immigration and visa matters.\n\n## Requirements\nWhether you need a visa to enter Ireland depends on what country you're from, see Schedule 1.\n\n[**S.I. No 473 of 2014**](https:\/\/www.ireland.ie\/1447\/en.si.2014.0473.pdf) groups countries into five different categories (schedules).\n\n**Note**: A Schengen visa or UK visa is not valid for travel to Ireland. For exceptions to this, please see Schedules 2 and 3 below.\n\nIf you're a citizen of a non-EEA country, whether you need a visa or not, you will be subject to immigration control when you enter Ireland.\n\n### **Schedule 1 - Check if you need an Irish visa**\nFind out what you need to enter Ireland based on your nationality on the [Irish Immigration website](https:\/\/www.irishimmigration.ie\/).\n\n### **Convention travel documents**\nIf you hold Convention travel documents issued by certain EEA state, please refer to Section 3. (b) (i) of [**S.I. No 473 of 2014**](https:\/\/www.ireland.ie\/1447\/en.si.2014.0473.pdf) (short-stay visits only) or visit the the [Irish Immigration website](https:\/\/www.irishimmigration.ie\/coming-to-work-in-ireland\/what-are-my-options-for-working-in-ireland\/coming-to-work-for-less-than-90-days\/recognition-of-convention-travel-documents\/) for more information.\n\n### **Schedule 2 - Visa waiver programme**\nCheck if you meet Visa Waiver Programme requirements on the [Irish Immigration website](https:\/\/www.irishimmigration.ie\/coming-to-visit-ireland\/short-stay-visa-waiver-programme\/). If so you **may** be able to travel on to Ireland from the UK without the need to obtain a separate Irish visa.\n\nIf not, you'll need to apply for an entry visa before you travel to Ireland.\n\n### **Schedule 3 - British Irish Visa Scheme (BIVS)**\nCheck if you are eligible for this Scheme on the the [Irish Immigration website](https:\/\/www.irishimmigration.ie\/coming-to-visit-ireland\/british-irish-visa-scheme\/).\n\n### **Schedule 4 - Transit Visas**\nCheck if you will need to apply for a transit visa on the [Irish Immigration website.](https:\/\/www.irishimmigration.ie\/at-the-border\/transit-including-transfer-visa-advice\/)\n\n[Back to top](https:\/\/www.ireland.ie\/en\/dfa\/visas-for-ireland\/#top)\n\n## Application\n### **Submitting your application**\nPlease ensure you have completed the correct application form and supplied all the required documentation. A full list of the different application forms and the necessary documents can be found on the [Irish Immigration website](https:\/\/www.irishimmigration.ie\/).\n\nThe processing times for visa applications vary depending on the visa type and the Office to which the application is lodged.\n\nVisa applications are considered in as speedy a manner as possible but timeframes for decision can be dependent on a number of factors including, the number of applications received and the resources available to process them at any one time.\n\nWhile the vast majority of applications are dealt with within a much shorter timeframe, it is recommended that applicants allow as much time as possible when applying for a visa. Just in case further enquiries have to be made, we advise you to apply for your visa eight weeks before the date you plan to travel.\n\n**Note:** Applicants planning on a long term or permanent stay in Ireland, such as, in the case of join family visa applications, should be aware that they will require more in-depth consideration than short-stay visa applications and it is recommended applicants make their applications as early as possible.

It does not guarantee permission to enter Ireland. Permission to enter Ireland is granted by an Immigration Officer at the port of entry.\n\nAll non-EEA citizens, whether they need a visa or not, will be subject to ordinary immigration controls at the port of entry.\n\n#### Additional documents\nAs well as your visa, an Immigration Officer may ask to see additional information such as:\n\n- Accommodation bookings\n- Return flights\n- Contacts in Ireland\n### Length of stay\nThe Immigration Officer at the port of entry will decide your length of stay by stamping your passport; which will reflect the purpose of your journey and the amount of time you are allowed to stay in the State.\n\nThe validity period shown on your visa indicates the dates between which you must travel to Ireland. These dates are NOT the dates between which you’re permitted to remain in Ireland.\n\n#### Staying over three months\nIf you need a visa to enter Ireland and you want to stay longer than 90 days, apply for a 'D' type visa before you travel.\n\nPermission to enter on the basis of a 'C' type visa will not give you permission to remain beyond a 90 day period.\n\n#### Registration\nIf you’re a non-EEA national and you want to stay longer than three months in Ireland, you must [register with the Immigration Office](https:\/\/www.irishimmigration.ie\/registering-your-immigration-permission\/) and apply for permission to remain in Ireland.\n\n### Conditions of your visa\nUnder Irish law, you’re not allowed to engage in any activity or to remain in Ireland for any purpose other than that for which your visa or permission to remain was granted.\n\n#### Overstaying your visa\nIf you stay in Ireland longer than your permission to remain permits, you could be liable for prosecution and\/or deportation.\n\n#### Change of activity\nIf you want to undertake any activity in Ireland other than that for which your visa was granted you must leave the county and apply for a new visa. You can’t return to Ireland while you’re waiting for a decision on your new application.\n\n[Back to top](https:\/\/www.ireland.ie\/en\/dfa\/visas-for-ireland\/#top)\n\n## Contact information\nThe Department of Justice and Equality has primary responsibility for visa matters relating to travel to Ireland.

— [Contacting us](https://www.ireland.ie/en/dfa/visas-for-ireland/#contacting-us) A visa is a form of pre-entry clearance which allows for travel to Ireland. It does not guarantee permission to enter Ireland. Permission to enter Ireland is granted by an Immigration Officer at the port of entry In Ireland, [Immigration Service Delivery](https://www.irishimmigration.ie/), an Office of the Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration is primarily responsible for dealing with immigration and visa matters. ## Requirements Whether you need a visa to enter Ireland depends on what country you're from, see Schedule 1. [S.I. No 473 of 2014](https://www.ireland.ie/1447/en.si.2014.0473.pdf) groups countries into five different categories (schedules). Note: A Schengen visa or UK visa is not valid for travel to Ireland. For exceptions to this, please see Schedules 2 and 3 below. If you're a citizen of a non-EEA country, whether you need a visa or not, you will be subject to immigration control when you enter Ireland. ### Schedule 1 - Check if you need an Irish visa Find out what you need to enter Ireland based on your nationality on the [Irish Immigration website](https://www.irishimmigration.ie/). ### Convention travel documents If you hold Convention travel documents issued by certain EEA state, please refer to Section 3. (b) (i) of [S.I.

[Back to top](https://www.ireland.ie/en/dfa/visas-for-ireland/#top) ## On arrival in Ireland ### Immigration control A visa is a form of pre-entry clearance which allows for travel to Ireland. It does not guarantee permission to enter Ireland. Permission to enter Ireland is granted by an Immigration Officer at the port of entry. All non-EEA citizens, whether they need a visa or not, will be subject to ordinary immigration controls at the port of entry. #### Additional documents As well as your visa, an Immigration Officer may ask to see additional information such as: - Accommodation bookings - Return flights - Contacts in Ireland ### Length of stay The Immigration Officer at the port of entry will decide your length of stay by stamping your passport; which will reflect the purpose of your journey and the amount of time you are allowed to stay in the State. The validity period shown on your visa indicates the dates between which you must travel to Ireland. These dates are NOT the dates between which you’re permitted to remain in Ireland. #### Staying over three months If you need a visa to enter Ireland and you want to stay longer than 90 days, apply for a 'D' type visa before you travel. Permission to enter on the basis of a 'C' type visa will not give you permission to remain beyond a 90 day period. #### Registration If you’re a non-EEA national and you want to stay longer than three months in Ireland, you must [register with the Immigration Office](https://www.irishimmigration.ie/registering-your-immigration-permission/) and apply for permission to remain in Ireland. ### Conditions of your visa Under Irish law, you’re not allowed to engage in any activity or to remain in Ireland for any purpose other than that for which your visa or permission to remain was granted. #### Overstaying your visa If you stay in Ireland longer than your permission to remain permits, you could be liable for prosecution and/or deportation. #### Change of activity If you want to undertake any activity in Ireland other than that for which your visa was granted you must leave the county and apply for a new visa. You can’t return to Ireland while you’re waiting for a decision on your new application.
