The Ireland Tourist Visa is a short stay 'C' visa for Indian passport holders visiting Ireland for tourism, sightseeing or a holiday, for up to 90 days. Ireland is NOT a Schengen country — it runs its own visa system, so a Schengen visa does not admit you to Ireland and there is no Irish e-visa. You create and complete the application online on AVATS (the Automated Visa Application and Tracking System), then print, sign and date the generated Summary Application Form and submit it together with your original supporting documents and the fee to the application office (for Indian applicants, via VFS Global Ireland or the Embassy of Ireland, New Delhi). Decisions generally take about 8 weeks, so apply roughly 3 months before you travel.
What it costs
Paid directly to Ireland / VFS — these are not our service fee, and we never mark them up.
Figures per irishimmigration.ie, last verified 9 Jun 2026. Fees change without notice — the official page is final.
The visa fee is set in euro by the Irish authorities (€60 single / €100 multiple for short stay 'C' visas) and is converted to INR at the consular/VFS exchange rate, so the rupee amount changes periodically — always confirm the live figure plus the VFS service charge on the VFS Global Ireland India page before paying. The visa fee covers the administrative cost of processing only; it is NON-REFUNDABLE if you withdraw your application or if the visa is refused. Some applicants are exempt from the visa fee — check the official exemptions list. Extra charges (for example consular fees and VFS optional services such as courier or SMS) may also apply and do not affect the decision.

The letter your itinerary attaches toWe can arrange the flight reservation, the hotel and the itinerary for your Ireland file — each sold separately.
We are a B2B travel agency as well as a visa consultancy, working with partners including Riya Travel — so the flight reservation and the confirmed hotel booking both come from us, and you deal with one team. Every booking is a real one under your own name. We do not sell travel insurance: buy the policy directly from an insurer.

Frequently asked
No. Ireland is NOT part of the Schengen area and runs its own visa system, so a Schengen visa does not admit you to Ireland. Indian citizens must apply for an Irish visa through AVATS. (Note: under the separate British-Irish Visa Scheme, certain Indian nationals can travel to both Ireland and the UK on a single eligible Irish or UK visa — check whether your visa qualifies.)
No. Ireland does not issue e-visas or family visas. You complete the application online on AVATS, but you must then print and sign the Summary Application Form and submit it with your original documents in hardcopy — there is no fully online/e-visa option.
Generally about 8 weeks from the date your documents are received by the application office. It can take longer if documents are missing, need verification, or because of personal circumstances. Apply roughly 3 months before you travel, and allow for the processing time when you choose your travel dates.
The short stay 'C' visa fee is €60 for single entry and €100 for multiple entry (multiple entry is granted only in limited cases), converted to INR at the consular/VFS rate, plus a VFS service charge. The fee is non-refundable even if the visa is refused. Verify the live INR amount on the VFS Global Ireland India page.
There is no fixed figure, but your finances must credibly cover the entire trip (travel, accommodation and daily expenses) without working or using Irish public funds. Show original bank statements (typically the last 6 months) backed by ITR/income proof and evidence of strong ties to India.
Yes. Ireland does not issue family visas — every traveller, including each child, needs a separate visa. A parent or legal guardian applies on behalf of any person under 18, with extra child-safety conditions and documents (such as a birth certificate and parental consent).
You receive a written refusal letter explaining the reasons. There is NO appeal for short-stay 'C' visa refusals — you must submit a fresh application that addresses the refusal reasons. SureshotVisa's refusal-rebuild service helps decode the real reason and restructure the case before reapplying.
