Re-Entry Visa

There are 3 types of re-entry visa:

  • Single re-entry visa: allows you to leave and return to Ireland once, typically within a 90-day period from the date of application. Cost: €60
  • Multiple re-entry visa: allows you to leave and return to Ireland on more than one occasion, typically up to the date-of-expiry of your study visa. Cost: €100
  • Emergency Visa: granted exceptionally in special circumstances, e.g serious illness, or family bereavement. Cost: €160

A re-entry visa cannot be issued past the expiry date on your IRP. If necessary, you may need to renew your IRP before you apply for a re-entry visa.
