Please note that the information provided below relates to visa-required nationals who reside in Egypt. The Embassy of Ireland cannot accept visa applications from visa-required nationals who do not reside in Egypt.
The processing time for visa applications varies depending on the visa type. Applications are processed as speedily as possible. However it is recommended that you allow as much time as possible when applying, and that you do not purchase an airline ticket before your visa is granted. We advise you to apply at least 8 weeks before your intended travel date.
Please note that all long-stay visa applications are required to be sent to the Visa Office in Abu Dhabi (ADVO) for decision. Current processing times can take up to 8 weeks for these applications. If this is applicable to you, you will be informed that your application has been forwarded to ADVO for decision. In this event, applicants should direct any queries to ADVO directly.
Once I have applied online, what do I do?
An information note has been prepared to assist applicants completing the online application form. This is available in:
All supporting documentation (bank statements, letters of employment/study, car/property ownership certificates, marriage certificates, birth certificates etc.) should be submitted in English or accompanied by a notarised translation. Failure to translate your documents into English may result in your visa application being refused. It is not sufficient to send in copies of your documents. All documentation submitted must be original and verifiable (e.g.) employment/study details, accommodation bookings must have correct contact details on each document. If this Office is unable to verify the information supplied this may result in your visa being refused.
The onus is on you, the applicant, to ensure that your application is fully complete before submitting it for consideration. You should note that if you submit an incomplete application, it may result in your application being refused.
If you have been refused a visa for any country, details of this must be given. Submit a copy of the letter issued to you by the authorities of that country, including a notarised translation if not in English. Concealment of visa refusals will result in your Irish visa application being refused.
Please note that if you provide false, fraudulent or misleading information or documentation, your application will be refused. You may also lose the right to appeal the decision. Any future applications made by you may also be refused.
If deemed necessary, additional documentation / information may be requested by the Deciding Officer upon detailed examination of the application.
If you submit false or misleading information in support of your application, you may become liable for prosecution and/or deportation.
We will contact you once a decision has been made.
