What Is the Ireland Tourist Visa?
The Ireland Tourist Visa, officially known as the Short Stay ‘C’ Visa, allows Indian nationals to visit the Republic of Ireland for tourism, family visits, short business activities, or short-term English language courses for up to 90 days per visit.
Ireland is not a member of the Schengen Area. This means:
Your Schengen visa does not grant entry to Ireland
You must apply for a separate Irish visa if you do not hold a qualifying UK visitor visa
Holders of a valid UK Standard Visitor Visa may travel to Ireland under the British-Irish Visa Scheme (BIVS) without a separate Irish visa, provided their UK visa is endorsed “BIVS”
All standard applicants resident in India must apply through the AVATS online portal and submit biometrics at a VFS Global centre in India.
