Ireland is not included in the Schengen area, it requires a separate visa. Is it much more complicated in registration than in the Schengen countries? And what factors do the Irish embassy primarily pay attention to?

Responds Anna Kukunina, manager of the visa department of the company "Russian Express"
It is not difficult to issue a visa to Ireland. The main thing is to collect the maximum set of documents .That is, in addition to mandatory documents of the certificate of employment and bank statement, it is desirable to provide documents for ownership (apartment, car), this will significantly speed up the entire process of processing documents in the Consulate .Compared with the average Schengen countries, a visa to Ireland is issued for a minimum of 15 working days, the recommended filing period is one month before the start of the trip .The consulate draws attention to the certificate from the work, periodically calls the tourist to work, there must confirm that the tourist is indeed an employee of the company .

More information about the documents required for visa processing can be found on the page "Visa to Ireland."
