Please be advised that the Consulate General of Ireland, Boston website has moved and this page is no longer being updated. The Consulate website is now available at Ireland.ie/boston.

Do I have to go to the Consulate to lodge my visa application?

No you don't. You can post in your application and supporting documents to the Consulate, for the attention of the Visa Section. You should ensure that all of your documents are included as incomplete applications will be delayed.

We accept all types of post (standard first class mail, UPS, Federal Express, etc.)

If you submit your application by post and would like your passport and any original documentation mailed back to you, you must submit the courier fee in addition to the visa fee. Alternatively, you can come in to the Consulate to collect your passport once the visa is ready.

You should keep note of the special delivery number so that you can track the return of your documents.

If you would like to submit your documentation in person, please contact us to make an appointment.
