Ireland’s Minister for Justice has announced that a British Irish Visa Scheme will commence this autumn. Under the new scheme, Chinese visitors will be able to use Irish visitor visas to also travel to Britain. Arrangements for the implementation of the scheme are being progressed with the UK Home Office and with the Chinese authorities, and further information will be provided as soon as possible. Since 2011, Chinese visitors can use British visas to travel onwards to Ireland after they have entered the UK.
Notice for Students/Agents:
Students/Agents – please note that all fees for courses must be paid in full before study applications are lodged at the Irish Visa Office. Students must also provide evidence of medical insurance. Failure to provide evidence of fee payment and medical insurance could result in your visa application being unnecessarily delayed. More information on study visas can be found at here.
