    Ireland Visit Tourist Visa from Bangladesh

    Short Stay C visa for tourism, holidays, sightseeing, and leisure travel to Ireland.

    Last Updated: 30 August 2026

    The Ireland Visit Tourist Visa is a Short Stay C visa for Bangladeshi nationals and eligible residents of Bangladesh travelling to Ireland for a holiday, sightseeing, or leisure visit of up to 90 days. In AVATS, applicants select “Short Stay (C)” and “Visit Tourist” as the reason for travel.

    Applications from Bangladesh fall under the New Delhi Visa Office. After completing AVATS, applicants print and sign the summary form and follow its submission instructions. The file may be sent to the Embassy of Ireland in New Delhi by post or lodged by appointment at the Ireland Visa Application Centre in Kolkata.

    Process Roadmap

    Step 1

    Confirm the Visit Tourist Category

    For a holiday or leisure trip of up to 90 days, select “Short Stay (C)” in AVATS and choose “Visit Tourist” as the reason for travel. Select single or multiple entry only as appropriate.

    Step 2

    Complete AVATS & Print the Summary

    Complete AVATS accurately, note the Visa Application Transaction Number, then print, sign, and date the application summary sheets. Supporting documents should normally be submitted within 30 days of creating the AVATS application.

    Step 3

    Build a Credible Holiday Plan

    Prepare a clear Ireland itinerary showing travel dates, intended places to visit, accommodation, and the overall holiday plan. Keep the information practical and consistent across the application.

    Step 4

    Prepare Finances & Return Evidence

    Arrange recent financial evidence together with employment, business, study, family, or property documents that support the trip and demonstrate strong obligations to return to your country of residence.

    Step 5

    Follow the Bangladesh Submission Route

    Use the submission instructions generated through AVATS. Bangladesh residents may be directed to send the file to the Embassy of Ireland in New Delhi by post or lodge it by appointment at the Ireland Visa Application Centre in Kolkata.

    Step 6

    Pay the Fee & Lodge the Application

    Submit the signed AVATS summary, passport, original supporting documents, required copies, and applicable visa fee. For direct Embassy submission, arrange the visa fee in advance by bank draft in Indian rupees, made payable to the Embassy of Ireland. For VFS submission, complete the applicable visa and VFS payments through the prescribed VFS process.

    Step 7

    Track the Case & Check the Visa

    Follow available updates using the relevant application or VFS reference number. After processing, collect the returned passport and check the visa details before travel.
