Visa FAQ

 

  • I have a Danish residence permit, do I need a visa to go to Ireland?

If you are a citizen of a visa required country, you will need a visa for Ireland even though you have a Danish residence permit.

 

  • I have an Alien Passport or a Convention Passport from Denmark, do I need a visa to go to Ireland?

With the grey Alien Passport and the blue Convention Passport, you do need a visa.

 

  • I have a transit at the airport in Dublin, do I need a visa?

This depends on your flight. Please, check with your airline.
In some cases, where your booking is two separate flights and you need to re-check your luggage, you will need a short stay visa as you will be going through security.

  • I am a resident outside of Denmark, can I apply for a visa for Ireland at the Embassy of Ireland in Denmark?

No, you need to apply for your visa in your country of residence.
