For the moment until we receive further instruction we will only be considering applications in the categories as outlined below;

·         Only long-stay visas (‘D’ categories) will be processed initially. No tourism or short-stay visas (‘C’ categories) will be processed at this time due to ongoing Covid-19 restrictions in Ireland

·         Certain Priority/Emergency cases will continue to be processed as normal**

·         Those travelling will be expected to serve a 14 day period of self-isolation upon arrival to Ireland.

**Priority/Emergency Cases.

Certain Priority/Emergency Short Stay cases will continue to be;

• Emergency visa (e.g. Healthcare professionals, health researchers, and elderly care professionals);
• Immediate family members of Irish citizens* (Where Ireland is their habitual residence);

• Persons entitled to avail of the provision of the EU Free Movement Directive;
• Transport personnel engaged in haulage of goods and other transport staff to the extent necessary;

*If a person is currently legally resident in the State and has a valid IRP or GNIB card or one that is almost/just expired they may apply for a visa.  Otherwise they are not considered to be legally resident in the State, and therefore they are not considered an emergency or priority case for the purpose of obtaining a visa.
