Short-Term Stay - Less Than 90 Days

About short stay ‘C’ visit (Study) visa

If you are a visa required national you must apply for a visa before travelling to Ireland.  You should not buy travel tickets before you receive a decision on your visa application.  If you wish to attend a short course of study of 90 days or less and if you are from a visa required country you will need to apply for a short stay ‘C’ visit (Study) visa.

Reason for travel: ‘Visit Tourist’

A short stay ‘C’ visit (Study) visa allows you to travel to Ireland for up to 90 days for:

  • Tourism
  • For example, a short term English language course.

This visa does not allow you to:

  • Do work (paid or unpaid) of any kind
  • Use any publicly funded services. For example, a public hospital.

An important required document – study plan

If you plan to study during your stay, include information about your study plan, such as:

  • The name, address, phone number, website and email of the place you are studying. For example, the school, college or institution
  • Shared or free accommodation. For example, couchsurfing
  • Proof you have reserved a place on the course. For example, a confirmation email or letter.
