Current Travel Situation
Myanmar to Ireland: What You Need to Know
Unlike most EU countries, Ireland is not part of the Schengen Area and operates its own independent visa system. Myanmar passport holders require an Irish Short Stay Visa (C) to visit Ireland, which permits stays of up to 90 days. The application fee is approximately 60-75 EUR and applications are submitted online through the Irish Immigration Service (INIS) portal or through VFS Global.
Ireland does not have an embassy in Myanmar. Applications from Myanmar nationals are submitted online and can be processed through the nearest Irish Embassy or via VFS Global in the region. Ireland has expressed concern about the Myanmar military coup but maintains standard consular services for civilian applicants.
Processing times vary but typically range from 2 to 8 weeks. A separate Irish visa is required even if you hold a valid Schengen visa.
Practical Tips
A Schengen visa does NOT grant entry to Ireland. You must apply for a separate Irish visa. If travelling to both Ireland and Schengen countries, you need two separate visas. Apply for the Irish visa well in advance as processing can take several weeks.
