Why go

Reasons to start packing

Wild Atlantic Way

2,500 km of coastal road — Cliffs of Moher, Connemara, Slea Head — the longest defined coastal route in the world.

Dublin's literary pubs

Davy Byrnes (where Joyce drank), Toner's (Yeats), and trad music sessions in the Cobblestone — a city that takes its writers seriously.

Game of Thrones in the North

Day-trip from Dublin to Belfast — Dark Hedges, Giant's Causeway, and the Titanic Quarter. (You'll need a separate UK visa for Northern Ireland.)

Questions

Ireland visa FAQs

Specific to this destination.

Is Ireland part of Schengen?

No — Ireland is in the EU but not Schengen. You need a separate Irish visa, even if you have a Schengen visa.

Can I use the British-Irish Visa Scheme (BIVS)?

Yes — if you hold a valid UK Standard Visitor Visa, you may be able to enter Ireland on the same visa under BIVS. We assess eligibility on a per-case basis.

Where do I apply?

VFS Ireland — Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai. AVATS online application, then biometrics if requested.
