Short Stay Multiple Entry Visit Visa Query

Hi All.
(I am sorry if this Post isn't relevant to the Forum).
My Parents are on "Multiple Entry" Short-Stay Type C Visit Visit, approved for 1 year. They will be 3 months (90 days) in early-November.
Just wondering if they can stay for 2-3 more weeks (beyond 90 days)?
We dont have any Childminder for our Children, while we both work; so their presence will help us a lot.

I know that for an ordinary "Single Entry" Visit Visa, you are allowed to stay for upto 90 days but not sure if it's the same rule for "Multiple Entry" Visit Visa as well.
Anybody with similar experience please reply....

It's still the same visit visa.

To come to Ireland to visit family or friends for less than 90 days, select the following options in AVATS:

Visa type: ‘Short Stay (C)

Reason for travel: ‘Visit Family/Friend’

Journey type: ‘Single’ or ‘Multiple’ (as appropriate for you).

The landing stamp shows the reason for your visit (For example, tourism) and how long you can stay, up to a maximum of 90 days.

They can theoretically apply to extend the stay, but lack of childminder won't be considered as exceptional circumstances by ISD.

The maximum number of days in a single stay is mentioned both on the visa sticker and in the immigration stamp when they arrive at the airport. It should be 90 days but sometimes can be shorter. They should always refer to that stamp in the passport and they cannot stay beyond that date unless they apply for permission from INIS. As meself2 mentioned, childcare isn’t a permissible reason. After all the visa is for the purpose of visiting relatives, not minding them.

Please help.

If it states "single entry", that means you can enter it only once.

Ok.

On visa stamp it says number of entries: 1

But when i asked the Immigration Officer at Dublin airport, he said before Covid, once you enter Ireland, you were allowed to re-enter again untill the leave expires. So i was confused.

You definitely misheard or understood it wrong. Ireland’s visa system has not been changed in decades.

A single entry visa means a single entry. The only exception is the UK-Irish visa scheme which allows you to enter UK and come back to Ireland on a single-entry visa.
