Visa for short-term travel to Ireland for business purposes (meetings, negotiations, etc.) for up to 90 days.
Ireland's Short Stay 'C' Business visa, issued by Immigration Service Delivery (ISD), allows non-EU/EEA/Swiss/UK nationals to travel for business purposes such as meetings, contract negotiations, or brief on-site work. Any actual paid or unpaid work must fit within a single 14-day window; longer engagements require the Atypical Working Scheme or an employment permit.
The visa is valid for up to 90 days and cannot be extended or converted in-country. Fees are €60 for single entry and €100 for multiple entry, paid via the AVATS online portal; some jurisdictions add a Visa Application Centre charge. Processing typically takes around 8 weeks. Applicants must show strong home-country ties, sufficient funds, and a return or onward travel plan.
This visa is ideal for international executives, professionals, and technical staff making short, defined business trips to Ireland for meetings, negotiations, or on-site assignments of 14 days or less.
