In general, delegates who are not citizens of Ireland and who are not a national of one of the countries listed below, are required to have a valid Irish visa.
The Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service also operates an Irish Short Stay Visa Waiver Programme, which allows delegates from a selected list of countries to enter Ireland without a visa if they have a UK ‘C’ General Visa and meet certain conditions.
Attendees should apply for visas at least 8 weeks in advance of travelling to Ireland.
Please consult the citizens’ information website for further information about Visa requirements.
