Ireland Visa RequirementsFor Brazil passport holders
Brazilian citizens can visit Ireland visa-free for up to 90 days. Ireland is NOT part of the Schengen Area and operates its own Common Travel Area (CTA) with the UK. This means the 90-day limit for Ireland is independent from any Schengen days used elsewhere in Europe.
Great news! Brazil passport holders can enter Ireland without a visa for tourism or business purposes. You can stay up to 90 days.
No visa required for Brazil to Ireland for up to 90 days. Enter at Dublin Airport (DUB) with your valid Brazilian passport. Border officers may ask for return flight, accommodation, and funds proof. Ireland uses the Euro. Note: if crossing from Ireland to Northern Ireland (UK), you are entering UK territory, though in practice the border is open and unfenced.

Current Travel Situation
Brazil to Ireland: What You Need to Know
Ireland is outside the Schengen Area but Brazilian passport holders have a separate visa-free arrangement with Ireland for up to 90 days. This is critically different from the UK and Schengen: Irish days do NOT count against Schengen days, and vice versa. Ireland and the UK form a Common Travel Area, so a Brazilian with a valid UK visa or leave to remain can generally also enter Ireland. Direct flights from São Paulo route via Dublin on Aer Lingus or via London, Frankfurt, and Amsterdam.
Practical Tips
Dublin's Temple Bar area is lively but tourist-priced , locals drink in pubs on the adjacent streets. The Cliffs of Moher (3 hours from Dublin) are Ireland's most dramatic natural site and require advance booking. The Ring of Kerry and Wild Atlantic Way are stunning road trips requiring a rental car. Killarney National Park, Connemara, and the Aran Islands are standout natural destinations. Irish traditional music sessions (sessions) happen organically in pubs , ask locally where the good ones are. Ireland is rainier than visitors expect even in summer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Brazilians need a visa for Ireland?
No. Brazilian passport holders can visit Ireland visa-free for up to 90 days. Importantly, Ireland is NOT in the Schengen Area, so Irish days are counted completely separately from Schengen days.
Does a UK visa allow entry to Ireland?
Generally yes. Irish immigration allows holders of valid UK leave to remain or a UK visa to enter Ireland under the Common Travel Area arrangement. However, always verify current policy with the Irish Embassy before relying on this.
Is Dublin expensive compared to other European capitals?
Dublin is one of Western Europe's more expensive capitals. Accommodation prices have risen sharply. Budget 150-200 EUR per day for a mid-range trip. Eating at pubs rather than restaurants and using the DART rail for outer suburbs reduces costs.
What are the best destinations outside Dublin for Brazilians?
The Cliffs of Moher (County Clare), Ring of Kerry, Connemara National Park, the Aran Islands by ferry from Galway, and Killarney National Park are the standout natural destinations. All require at least 1-2 nights outside Dublin.
