Current Travel Situation
French Polynesia to Ireland: What You Need to Know
Ireland is an EU member but not part of the Schengen Area. This means that even French EU citizens, including French Polynesia residents, need a separate visa to visit Ireland. The Irish Short Stay C visa costs approximately 60 EUR ($75 USD) and is applied for at the Irish Embassy or VFS Global.
How to Get There
From Tahiti Faaa (PPT) to Paris (CDG) on Air Tahiti Nui. From CDG, Aer Lingus and Air France fly directly to Dublin (DUB) in approximately 2 hours. Ryanair also serves Dublin from multiple French cities.
Money & Banking
Ireland uses the Euro (EUR). Cards are widely accepted. Dublin is an expensive city. Budget 120 to 180 EUR per day. ATMs are available everywhere. Tipping 10 to 15% at restaurants is customary.
Practical Tips
Dublin Airport (DUB) connects well to Paris CDG via Aer Lingus and Air France. Ireland is a compact island and easily explored by rental car or bus. Best visited from May to September. Irish immigration is separate from UK immigration, so two separate permissions are required for UK-Ireland trips.
