Visa Information
VISAS
The Embassy continues to process new visa and preclearance applications. We process visa applications in the order we receive them. In general, you can expect a decision for a short stay visit (tourist) visa within 6-8 weeks from the date that a complete visa application is received, including proof of payment.
Applicants will be contacted directly once a decision has been made, or if there are any queries arising from their visa applications, via the email address provided on the online application form.
If you choose to submit supporting documentation for your visa application by post, we strongly recommend that you use a reputable courier service. The Embassy cannot be held responsible for applications or documents lost in transit.
Further information can be found on the Irish Immigration website including processing times for different visa categories.
