REQUIREMENTS FOR U.S. CITIZENS TO OBTAIN VISA TO ENTER IRELAND
U.S. citizens do not
need a visa for tourist or business travel to this country. A
valid U.S.
Passport is required. Any U.S. citizen who wishes to travel
to Hungary for any purpose other than tourism or business negotiations
(e.g. work, study, adoption, immigration, or stays longer than
stipulated in the entry requirements) should contact directly,
the embassy or nearest consulate.
Visa
Notes
- TDS is not able to assist with expediting
visas for Ireland, other than for foreign nationals who are
permanently residing in Maryland, Virginia, or Washington
DC.
- A printable visa application may be available
here but it is intended only for use at the Washington DC
embassy of this country. You should confirm with the consulate,
full visa requirements and acceptability of this visa application
before using this form.
- In most cases the visa for Ireland must be
processed by what is called, Consular Jurisdiction - or, the
consulate which has jurisdiction over the state in which the
applicant resides - usually the nearest consulate.
- In some cases there may be delays of several
days, or even weeks, issuing visas for some foreigners traveling
to Ireland and/or a personal appearance for an interview at
the consulate may be required. Call the consulate to confirm
these details before sending an application or purchasing
travel arrangements which may be subject to cancellation penalties.
Study
- U.S. citizens who are planning to attend
educational institutions in Ireland should also contact the
nearest consulate for special visa instructions which may
apply.
REGISTER YOUR TRIP:
The U.S. Department of State encourages all American travelers to register with their local Embassy or Consulate when arriving in a foreign country. Registration helps the Embassy to provide important services for American citizens residing or traveling abroad. Some of these services include:
-
Locating individuals in cases of family or personal emergencies,
-
Relaying important travel and safety information about the region,
-
Arranging evacuation transportation in cases of natural disaster or civil unrest,
-
Issuing replacement passports when originals are lost, and
-
A number of other administrative services relating to personal documentation.
Without the information provided through registration, the Embassy is severely hindered in its ability to provide these services. Many of these services involve emergency situations and time constraints, therefore failure to register will almost certainly lead to delays at moments when you can least afford them.
