Do I need a visa for India from Ireland?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Yes. Irish nationals must obtain an e-Visa for India, applied for online through the official portal indianvisaonline.gov.in before travel.
Irish travellers cannot enter India without a prior visa: India issues an e-Visa through the government portal indianvisaonline.gov.in. The application is made online, from Ireland, before departure. The passport must be valid for at least six months and have two blank pages.
Do you need a visa?
Yes, an e-Visa is required for Irish travellers: the tourist e-Visa covers short leisure stays in India. Entry must be made through a port authorised for e-Visa holders. Confirm the validity period and number of entries on the official portal.
How and where to apply
Go to the official portal indianvisaonline.gov.in, create your file and complete the online form from Ireland. You upload a photo and the passport bio page, pay the fee by card and receive the authorisation by email. No visit to the Indian consulate is needed for a standard tourist e-Visa.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least six months with two blank pages, a photo in the required format, an accommodation address in India and a return ticket. The fee depends on the type and duration and must be verified on the official portal. Make sure your details match the passport exactly.
Processing and tips
Submit the application several working days before departure to cover the processing time. Keep the approved e-Visa, printed or on your phone, for boarding and arrival checks. Double-check the passport number you enter, a frequent source of blocking errors.
Common mistakes
Use only the official portal indianvisaonline.gov.in: many lookalike sites add extra fees. Do not travel without an approved e-Visa expecting to settle the formality on site. Check that your entry point is among those authorised for e-Visa holders.
