Ireland visit by UK Tier 1 Holders

Post by pns » Tue Mar 26, 2013 1:32 pm

Hi

I am living in UK on a Tier 1 G visa with Indian passport. As per the Irish visa waiver programme, would I be eligible to enter Ireland without a visa? Please refer below for more information.

If no, what other benefits do I have by hloding the UK visa?

if yes, would I go to Ireland without any stamping? Thinking will anyways get it stamped at one of their ports post arrival.

If your Tier 1 G visa is valid for 180 days or more, then your are eligible to visit Ireland without the need of applying for a Visa.

Hi .

can you please point me to Irish Immigration website which supports this statement? I do see some explanation on UK Category C visas not needing an additional Irish visit visa. But I dont find anything supporting the Tier 1 G holders.

Thanks for your help.

Its says that on the pdf file that you provided that if you have been granted leave to remain in the UK for up to 180 days then you are eligible

i.e

I am not a specialist, but I think this scheme is more for tourists and business travellers with visas of 180 or less, isn't it?

Hey

I have enquired with irish embassy in london. They said as a Tier 1 G migrant you need to apply for visa. The visa fee is waived for certain nationals.
