Why choose Mapshore for your Ireland visa from the UAE
We have filed this before
Mapshore has been arranging visas alongside flights and holidays since 2005, so the checklist we hand you is the one that is working at that consulate now.
Your file is checked before it goes in
We read every document against the current requirement list first. Most straightforward refusals come down to a missing statement or a photo at the wrong size, and those are cheap to catch early.
Honest timelines, not best cases
We tell you the turnaround to plan around for your nationality and the season you are travelling in, and we say so early if your dates are too tight to be safe.
A refusal is not the end of it
Bring us the refusal letter. We work out which ground it was refused on, fix that specific thing, and file again rather than resubmitting the same file.
One named person on your file
You deal with the consultant handling your application rather than a queue, and we still pick up when something shifts mid-holiday.
Ireland visa questions from the UAE
Yes, you can apply for an Ireland short stay tourist visa from Dubai while on a UAE visit visa if your passport is valid and you can submit at VFS Global Ireland in Dubai. Ireland is not Schengen, so UAE visit status does not exempt you; Dublin assesses home ties, UAE funds and compliance more than the Dubai visa type.
Travel insurance is not mandatory for an Ireland tourist visa from Dubai, but it is strongly recommended for medical care in Ireland and to support your UAE application. Policies purchased in Dubai should cover the full Irish stay. Mapshore in Dubai advises insurance for families and longer visits, as hospital costs in Ireland are high without cover.
Ireland tourist visa processing from Dubai is typically six to ten weeks after submission at VFS Global Dubai, as decisions are made in Dublin not in the UAE. Timings stretch in UAE summer and holiday periods. Apply at least ten weeks before travel from Dubai and keep your UAE phone reachable for Dublin requests.
From Dubai the Ireland short stay tourist visa fee is EUR 60 for single entry and EUR 100 for multiple entry, with transit at EUR 25, per the Irish immigration schedule. Some nationalities are exempt. VFS Global Dubai charges a separate service and courier fee in the UAE. All fees paid from Dubai are non-refundable if the Irish visa is refused in Dublin.
From Dubai you need a passport, signed online summary and two photos, UAE residence or visit visa and Emirates ID, six months of UAE bank statements, employment proof in Dubai, travel bookings for Ireland, and a personal letter explaining the trip. Mapshore in Dubai checks your file against the Dublin checklist before it leaves Dubai.
From the UAE, an Ireland short stay tourist visa allows up to 90 days, but the immigration officer at the Irish border decides the exact stay and stamps it. Check the stamp before leaving the desk; that date governs your legal stay. Ireland visas do not allow travel to the UK or Schengen area from Dubai.
