Are tourist visas to Ireland hard to get??

Question

I do need a visa to enter because of my nationality, I'm in process now...just want to know if it is hard to get it...

Answer 1

From your question it lookslike u belong to a visa-requiring country to enter ireland. Well it is not difficult but there are some papers that you need to submit to the irish embassy in your country. some of them are :-

1. Full itinerary of your trip, including the date on which you will leave India and all countries you are visiting prior to and after Ireland.

2. Full details of the reason for your visit – e.g. to visit family, friends, etc

3. Confirmation of Hotel booking or letter from reference in Ireland undertaking to provide you with accommodation during your stay.

4. A detailed account as to how your reference in Ireland met you (where applicable) and your relationship to them and supporting evidence of this. If your reference is not an Irish/EEA citizen, evidence of their permission to remain in Ireland – a copy of their GNIB card and copy of their passport showing Immigration stamps

5. Evidence that you have sufficient funds to maintain yourself during your stay (recent bank statement covering a three month period). If your reference in Ireland is supporting you, they must supply a detailed 6 month bank statement for the period immediately prior to your visa application showing sufficient funds to support you for the duration of your stay.

Lump sum lodgements made shortly before your application will not be considered.

6. A written undertaking both from yourself and your reference that you will observe the conditions of your visa, that you will not become a burden on the Irish State and that you will leave the State on the expiration of your visa.

7. Full details of the medical/travel insurance that you have taken for the trip.

More information can be found in the irish embassy of your country!
