Do You Need a Visa to Visit Ireland?
Unlike many other European countries, Ireland is not part of the Schengen Area. Here’s what you need to know:
- Visa-Free Entry: Citizens of the EU, the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, and several other countries can enter Ireland visa-free for stays of up to 90 days.
- Visitor Visa Required: Nationals from non-exempt countries will need to apply for an Ireland visitor visa to enter the country.
Special Note: Ireland has a separate visa system from the Schengen Area, meaning that a Schengen visa does not allow entry into Ireland. ESPI Travels can help you navigate the visa application process and confirm your eligibility.
