Your application form should be fully completed. No question should be left blank.
You must sign the form yourself; nobody can sign it on your behalf. (Except in the case of a child under 16, whereby the parent(s) may sign on behalf of a child).
Unsigned applications will be refused.
Where a child under the age of 18 is travelling alone, the consent of both parents/guardians is required. If the child is travelling with one parent, the consent of the other parent is required. Where only one parent has total custody and access rights, official evidence of this must be provided.

All documents submitted must be in English
Where they are in any other language, the original document should be submitted, along with a notarized translation of same. Failure to provide translated documents will lead to your application being refused.
At the time of your visa application, you must possess a passport which is valid for 6 months after the date you propose to leave Ireland. Applications submitted without such a passport cannot be considered.
For applications for long-term stays such as employment, study, or joining your spouse, it is advisable that your passport should be valid for at least 12 months. If you are permitted to remain in Ireland for more than 3 months you must register with the Garda National Immigration Bureau. The charge for registration is €150 each time. You will not be registered beyond the date of expiry of your passport. It is therefore in your own interest to have a passport which is valid for at least 12 months.
If your passport is relatively new, it may assist your application if you provide your previous passport showing any previous visas for any other country, and your previous travel history.
All visa applicants must be able to show evidence that they can support themselves for the duration of their stay in Ireland without recourse to public funds or resources.
A detailed bank statement, showing sufficient funds, and covering the immediate 6 month period prior to submitting a visa application should be submitted. Lump-sum lodgments made in the run-up to an application being made are not taken into consideration when assessing a person’s ability to support them.
For all categories of visa applications, it will be necessary to include details of any other family members present in Ireland, or any other EU State.
Details of any previous visa applications for Ireland made by you must be given.
If you have been refused a visa for any other country, details of this, preferably the original letter issued to you by the authorities of that country, should be submitted. Concealment of any other visa refusals will result in your Irish visa application being refused.
