If you are applying for a visa from a country where the Online Application Facility is not yet available

If the country in which you are residing, and are currently located, is not included in our list of  Supported Countries you will need to complete a paper application form.

From November 27th 2008, a separate visa will be required by all dependents, even if they are included on your passport. Therefore a visa application needs to be completed for each person wishing to travel to Ireland. A visa processing fee is payable for each application.

Alternatively, you can contact your nearest Irish Embassy, Consulate, or Visa Office and request a form. Contact details can be found on www.dfa.ie

The form must be fully completed, in English, signed and dated. All 8 pages must be submitted with your supporting documents.

NOTE: If the Online Application Facility is available in your country of residence, you cannot submit a downloaded form. If you do, your application will be returned to you and you will be asked to complete your application online. This will delay the processing of your application.
