Short-stay tourist visa for non-EEA nationals visiting Ireland for up to 90 days; €60 single / €100 multiple entry, processed in about 8 weeks.
Ireland's Short Stay 'C' Visit (Tourist) Visa is issued by Immigration Service Delivery (ISD) for non-EEA nationals travelling for tourism, family or friend visits, short courses, or medical care. It is an entry permission only — holders cannot work, draw social services, or rely on State support.
Stays are capped at 90 days per visit. Fees are €60 single entry and €100 multiple entry, both non-refundable. Dublin Visa Office processing typically takes around 8 weeks once documents arrive. Applicants must show strong home-country ties, funds to cover the trip, accommodation, travel insurance, and clear intent to leave before expiry.
This visa is ideal for visa-required nationals planning a short holiday, family visit, or short course in Ireland who can demonstrate ties at home and the means to fund the stay.
