Do I need a visa to visit my family or friends in Ireland?

If you are a non-EEA national and are planning a visit to stay with friends/family who are resident in Ireland, you may be required to obtain a visa before arriving to the State.

You will only need to apply for a visa if you are from a non-EEA country which is visa required.

All Short Stay ‘C’ Visa applicants must be able to demonstrate that they have strong family, social or economic ties in a place of residence other than Ireland since this therefore suggests that the individual only intends to stay in Ireland for a short, specified period of time.

The maximum stay for those who wish to visit family/friends on a short stay visa is 90 days (three months).

If you are from a non-EEA country that is categorised as non-visa required by INIS (Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service), you do not need to apply for this Short Stay (Family/Friend) Visa.

You must however, regardless of whether you are from a non-visa required or a visa required country, report to an immigration border official upon your arrival to Ireland and provide the relevant documentation to demonstrate your reason for entering the State.

Requirements for a Short Stay Family Visa?

All short stay visas for non-EEA nationals consist of the same assessment criteria.

A number of factors are analysed to determine whether you are eligible to enter the state. A visa officer assessing your application will consider the following to influence their decision:

  • You will leave Ireland before your visa expires
  • You (or your family/friends in Ireland who are sponsoring your visit) are able to support yourself financially during your visit, without access to public funds or employment
  • You have provided proof of return/further travel arrangements
  • You will not breach the Common Travel Area by attempting to enter the UK via Ireland without holding a valid UK visa
  • Your immigration history
  • You are of good character
  • Your application is truthful/accurate

It is important to note that if the visa officer feels that you have provided false or insufficient information or fail to meet the above criteria, you may be deemed ineligible.

How to apply for Ireland family visit visa?

If you wish to apply for a Short Stay Family & Friends Visa, you will need to follow the steps as listed below:

  • Check that you adhere to all of the necessary eligibility criteria for this visa.
  • Gather your supporting documents.
  • Visit the AVATS online visa portal and fill in the online application with your personal details. Make sure you select the ‘Short Stay (C)’ visa type and select “Visit Family/Friend” as the reason for travel.
  • After you’ve completed the application, take note of your visa application transaction number.
  • The Dublin visa office
  • An international visa office
  • An Irish embassy or consulate
  • Pay the application fee. How you pay this fee will vary based on the application office you send your application to.

Which supporting documents do I need for my Family Visit Visa application?

When making an application for any Irish visa, including the Short Stay (Family/Friend) Visa, you should consider your supporting documentation one of the most important aspects.

For a short stay visit to Ireland when visiting family and friends, one of the key factors which will be analysed by a visa officer will be whether you can be relied on to leave the State at the end of your stay.

Your documentation must be provided within 30 days of beginning your visa application. Some key documents required are outlined below however this is not an exhaustive list:

  • A signed and dated letter of application detailing: why you wish to visit Ireland; the dates you intend to stay; where you intend to stay and who will be paying/assisting with the funding of your visit – this letter must clarify who you are visiting and their relationship to you, along with documentary evidence of this relationship
  • A signed and dated invitation letter written by the friend/family member you are visiting describing why they are inviting you to Ireland, how they know you and the dates you intend to visit them – this must include a clear colour photocopy of their National Identity Card/passport
  • If your friend/family member is a non-EU/EEA national residing in Ireland, their invitation letter must also include a clear colour photocopy of their valid Irish Residence Permit/GNIB card and their valid immigration permission stamp
  • If your friend/family member will be helping to fund your stay in Ireland, they must also provide a cost estimate and proof that they are able to help with this
  • A description of your accommodation plan
  • Proof of travel and medical insurance
  • Your current, valid passport and a photocopy of all previous passports
  • Two passport-sized, colour photographs of you
  • Evidence of obligations to demonstrate that you will return home and comply with the conditions of your visa

How can I prove that I am able to financially support myself during my visit to Ireland?

Short-stay visas do not permit you to work nor rely on the State whilst in Ireland. It is essential, therefore, that you are able to provide evidence that you can support yourself financially throughout your visit.

Whether you will be supporting yourself throughout your stay, or the family member/friend who you are visiting in Ireland will be supporting you financially, you must provide sufficient proof.

If you intend to support yourself financially, you must include within your visa application:

  • A recent bank statement showing your name, address, bank account number and account type, as well as showing money paid in and out of the account over the previous six months

If your friend or family member in Ireland is helping to support you financially during your visit, you must provide within your visa application:

  • An estimate of the costs and what they will be paying for
  • Evidence that your friend/family member can afford these costs via current bank statements, their three most recent payslips (if employed), their most recent P60, a letter from their employer confirming employment (if applicable)
  • If they are self-employed, a letter including a description of their business and documents which prove that it is trading (such as their most recent financial accounts, tax return etc.)

If somebody else will be supporting you financially throughout your visit to Ireland, you must include within your visa application:

  • A description of how and why this third party will be funding your visit
  • Full details of the third party
  • Proof of the relationship between you and this third party (photographs of you both together, emails, letters etc.)
  • The third party must demonstrate that they are able to financially support you, providing evidence as explained above (whether employed or self-employed)

How can I demonstrate that I will return home when my permission expires?

In order to show that you have reason to leave Ireland when your visit ends, you must present evidence that you have a strong obligation to return to your country of residence for economic, social or family purposes.

This can be demonstrated through:

Employment: If you are employed at home, you can show that you have an obligation to return to this role by providing recent payslips, a letter from your employer stating how long you have been employed, when you are due to return and your vacation entitlement.

Education/Study:

Students can show that they have an obligation to return home to proceed with their studies. This can be demonstrated by providing a letter from their school/college stating the course they are studying, how many years they have studied there and how much time they have left there

Family: If you have family ties in your country of residence/home, you can provide a letter detailing your family status and any children or dependants you may have, including documents which prove you are related and where they are residing. This constitutes an obligation to return.

Property: If you either own or rent property in your country of residence, this can be used as evidence of an obligation to return. To prove this, you should include documents such as your original tenancy/rental agreement or property title deed. You are also required to provide proof that you still reside in the property which can be demonstrated by recent utility bills.

Can I visit my friends/family in Ireland with a UK visa?

If you have an eligible UK short stay visa and your visit to Ireland will end before your permission to stay in the UK ends, you may be able to visit Ireland for less than 90 days without applying for an Irish visa.

This is known as the Short Stay Visa Waiver programme and is an option for residents of specific countries only. It is proposed to run until 31 st October 2021.

This cannot be used by those who have been granted a UK short stay visa as a visitor in transit or a visitor seeking to marry/enter a civil partnership.

You must have gained entry to the UK with your current UK short stay visa prior to visiting Ireland with this visa.

There is, however, no minimum length of stay in the UK required before you travel to Ireland.

You will be treated at the Irish port of entry just as you would have been if arriving with an Irish visa.

This means that your passport will be stamped by immigration officers with an entry stamp and the date that this immigration permission will expire.

Residents of the following countries are eligible to visit Ireland with a valid UK short stay visa (subject to conditions):

Eastern Europe: Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Russian Federation, Serbia, Turkey, Ukraine

Middle East: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia

Asia: India, Kazakhstan, Peoples Republic of China, Thailand, Uzbekistan

Here at the IAS, we are happy to help with any enquiries you may have regarding the Short Stay Visa Waiver programme, call us on (+353) 061 518 025 to learn more.

You should receive a decision within this time however this can be delayed if you do not provide the sufficient documentation, if you have a criminal conviction or if any information provided needs to be verified.
