You can realize your planned trip to Ireland by obtaining an Irish tourist visa. The reasons for applying for this type of visa can be tourism, visiting family or friends, business trip, medical examination or treatment, short-term study, exchange programs and many other non-permanent nuances. If you wish to study in Ireland for a long-term period of more than 90 days (such as a bachelor's, master's, doctorate, etc.) or work permanently in an institution located here, apply for an Irish national visa if you have official invitations or acceptance letters from those educational and work institutions.
Irish Tourist Visa
The Republic of Ireland is a member of the European Union, but it is recognized as one of the countries not included in the Schengen area.
The island of Ireland itself is divided into two parts. The south of the island is the Republic of Ireland, and the north belongs to the United Kingdom. Anyone wishing to travel to Northern Ireland must apply for a UK visa rather than an Irish visa. Northern Ireland consists of the counties of Antrim, Armagh, Derry, Down, Fermanagh and Tyrone. If a person is traveling to the Republic of Ireland, then to Northern Ireland and back to the Republic of Ireland, this means that they need to obtain two visas: a United Kingdom visa and a multiple entry Irish visa. You cannot enter the Republic of Ireland with a United Kingdom visa either.
Single-entry and multiple-entry Irish visas are available. At the same time, you can apply for a short-term visa, which will cover only your first visit, or multiple-entry and long-term visa types. It varies depending on the purpose of your trip and the interval of your trip.
Note that, in most cases, the Irish visa is issued in accordance with the travel period indicated by the applicant in the application form and other documents during the visa application.

If the applicant is under 18 years of age, in this case, if he is traveling alone, a copy of the permission document to leave the country from both parents or, if he is traveling with one of the parents, must also be submitted during the visa application.

Visa Procedure
The visa application for the Republic of Ireland is made to the VFS Global Ireland visa center located in Azerbaijan. Ireland does not have any diplomatic representation in Azerbaijan, so the decision is made in the consular department of the embassy of the Republic of Ireland located in neighboring Turkey. The Irish Naturalization and Immigration Service (INIS) is the body responsible for immigration and visa issues in Ireland.
It is possible to schedule a visa appointment to submit documents during weekday business hours by contacting the Irish VFS Global visa application center at +994 12 310 57 09.
An appointment is required to submit the documents.
The applicant can apply no earlier than 3 months before the intended trip. The duration of document processing depends on the type of visa applied for, the workload of the embassy and the visa section located in Dublin. Apply as early as possible. It is advisable to apply at least 8 weeks before travel at the latest. The visa process usually takes 4 weeks (excluding non-working days related to holidays).
The visa fee is 128 AZN for a single-entry visa, 213 AZN for a multiple-entry visa, and the service fee of the visa center is 64 AZN. Since the documents are sent to the embassy of the Republic of Ireland in Ankara after the application is accepted, in addition to the visa fee and service fee, an additional AZN 139 courier fee is paid for transporting the documents to Ankara.
Chances of Getting an Irish Visa
As when applying for a visa at the embassy of any country, your chances of getting a visa in Ireland depend on the state of your profile. Your workplace and position are normal, your monthly income is higher than the standard salary range (in experience, visas have been issued to people with a monthly income in the range of 600-700 AZN, there have been many cases), you have enough money in your bank account to cover your entire trip, the nuances that bind you to the country (your name availability of property, family and children) and a good travel history are factors that increase your chances of getting an Irish visa. Applying for an Irish visa is considered risky for people with no previous travel history, i.e. no Schengen or other visa holders. If the other points in your profile (listed above) are very high and in good standing, you may have a chance to get an Irish visa even without a travel history. In any case, a good travel history is a direct factor in your obtaining an Irish visa.
