Entry/Exit Requirements

Visit the Embassy of Ireland website for the most current visa information.

• You must have a valid passport to enter Ireland, but U.S. citizens can enter visa free for tourism or business stays of up to three months.
  
• There is no minimum passport validity for U.S. citizens entering Ireland.  We recommend you have a passport that is valid for the duration of your stay, sufficient funds, and a return airline ticket.
• An increased number of U.S. citizens have been refused entry or have been granted only a limited stay because they failed to satisfy Irish immigration laws. Please ensure you have the appropriate visa prior to traveling. You can find more information at the Irish Naturalization and Immigration Service website.
• We cannot intervene on your behalf when applying for a visa, nor can we assist if you are denied entry into Ireland.

The U.S. Department of State is unaware of any HIV/AIDS entry restrictions for visitors to or foreign residents of Ireland.
