Useful Information > VISA

In particular…..

• For applications for long-term stays such as employment, study, or joining your spouse, it is advisable that your passport should be valid for at least 12 months. If you are permitted to remain in Ireland for more than 3 months you must register with the Garda National Immigration Bureau. The charge for registration is €150 each time. You will not be registered beyond the date of expiry of your passport. It is therefore in your own interest to have a passport which is valid for at least 12 months.
•  If your passport is relatively new, it may assist your application if you provide your previous passport showing any previous visas for any other country, and your previous travel history. For information. Visas are applicable to students from countries.
• All visa applicants must be able to show evidence that they can support themselves for the duration of their stay in Ireland without recourse to public funds or resources.

A detailed bank statement, showing sufficient funds, and covering the immediate 6 month period prior to submitting a visa application should be submitted. Lump sum lodgements made in the run up to an applicationbeing made are not taken into consideration when assessing a person’s ability to support themselves.
