What makes Ireland unforgettable.
A snapshot of why travelers from Türkiye keep coming back.
Where to start.
Required documents
The baseline checklist consular officers expect from Turkish applicants. Specific cases (students, business, family reunification) may require additional documents.
- Passport valid for the duration of the stay
- Completed online AVATS application summary, signed
- Two recent passport photos meeting specifications
- Bank statements covering the last 6 months
- Employment letter, payslips, and SGK service record
- Round-trip flight reservation and accommodation bookings
- Detailed travel itinerary
- Cover letter explaining the purpose of travel
- Proof of ties to Türkiye (property, family, business)
- Travel medical insurance for the duration of the trip
Apply smarter, not harder.
Ireland is not in the Schengen Area — a Schengen visa does not cover it.
Complete the application on the official AVATS portal before submitting documents.
A clear cover letter and strong financial evidence improve approval odds.
Previous US, UK, or Schengen visas help demonstrate travel history.
Apply well ahead — processing can take several weeks.
Applications are completed online via AVATS and submitted through VFS Global Ireland centres in Türkiye on behalf of the Irish authorities.
When to go and what to budget.
May–September offers the mildest, driest weather and long daylight hours.
Around $130–220 per day per person, with Dublin at the higher end.
Why applications get refused.
The most common reasons Turkish applicants are refused for Ireland. Address each one proactively in your file.
Study, work, and business notes.
Courses longer than 90 days require a long-stay 'D' study visa, not a short-stay visa.
Employment needs an employment permit and matching visa; tourism visas do not allow work.
Business visitors may attend meetings and conferences on a short-stay visa.
