You do not need a visa

You do not need a visa to come to Ireland. If you hold a valid Residence Card of a Family Member of a Union Citizen you may use it to accompany or join your family member in Ireland.

This card is connected with your family member's free movement rights under EU treaties.

('Residence Card of a Family Member of a Union Citizen' is sometimes shortened to 'EU Family Residence Card'.)

You are from a non-visa required country and you wish to join your EU/EEA or Swiss family member in Ireland for less than 3 months. Change your answers
