Stamp 0 for a Visiting Academic

If your application is successful you may be allowed to stay in Ireland for up to 9 months, though you cannot be paid by any institution you visit.

However, you can continue to be paid by your home university or another institution outside this country.

If your application for Stamp 0 is successful, you will be sent a letter that includes information about the permission granted to you and what to do next.

This includes how to register with immigration.

If you applied for Stamp 0 but have not received a response or a letter, contact Residence Division (Unit 2) for an update.

Before travelling to Ireland, check if you need a visa.

If you are allowed into Ireland, an immigration officer at border control will stamp your passport and then add a date to the stamp.

You must visit a registration office in person before this date to:

• Confirm the permission in your letter, ie to be a Visiting Academic
• Register your details with immigration

If you don't register in time, you may have to leave the country.

Consult your letter for detailed information about how to register or read a summary of the registration process.
