May I apply for a Multiple Entry Visa?

Please see Types of visa and documentation page of this website regarding the availability of multiple entry visas for Russian citizens travelling to Ireland.

Anyone is free to apply for a multiple journey visa on payment of the appropriate fee. However, the following should be noted:

  • Payment for a multiple journey visa does not confer any entitlement to be granted a multiple Journey, or indeed any visa. You may be granted a multiple entry (MJ), a single entry (SJ) or refused a visa according to the decision of the visa officer;
  • Multiple journey visas are in general only issued to regular business travellers, applicants who are assessed as bone fide travellers, certain spouses and/or dependent children of Irish/EEA nationals;
  • Applicants for long stay employment, study or join Irish/EEA/3rd country family members to reside in Ireland, are generally only granted a single journey visa. They can obtain a multiple journey visa after registration with the appropriate authorities (Garda National Immigration Bureau) in Ireland;

Multiple journey visas are, in general not issued to other categories, save in exceptional or unusual circumstances.
