Entry status
e-VisaBefore you go:
- Travellers cannot go directly to Ireland on a valid UK short-stay visa before first landing in and receiving permission to stay in the UK.
- Eligible-country nationals who are long-term legal UK residents and must apply for a visa do not pay a visa fee.
- A UK ETA cannot be used for this waiver programme; a traveller with an ETA but no UK visa needs a separate Irish visa.
- A current passport must be valid for at least six months after planned departure from Ireland.
