Is there a Visit Visa in Ireland? How to apply? Whats the difference between a Visit Visa and Tourist Visa?

Question

I have an Irish bf who lives and work in Southern Ireland and am from Philippines. He wanted me to go there. Will an invitation from him to visit him solves everything? Or is it advisable for him to apply for a fiancee visa? Will appreciate all of your reply. Thanks.....

Answer 1

An invitation to visit will be sufficient if the purpose is for tourism only.  For purposes of marriage, the fiancee visa must be applied.
