Application for Ireland visa!

Yes, absolutely. As an expat working in the UAE, you can apply for an Ireland visa regardless of your employment status here. You'll need to provide your UAE employment contract, salary certificate, and a letter from your employer confirming your position and leave approval if applicable. Green Apple can collect all your documents from your office or home in Dubai and submit them directly to the Irish visa centre without you needing to visit in person, making the process seamless alongside your UAE work commitments.

You'll need to submit your last 3–6 months of bank statements showing regular income and savings, your employment contract or offer letter, and a salary certificate from your UAE employer. If you're self-employed, provide your trade license, business registration, and audited accounts. We recommend keeping at least AED 20,000–30,000 in your account to demonstrate sufficient funds for your stay, and we'll advise you on exactly what your bank needs to highlight when you share statements with us via WhatsApp or email.

Standard processing takes 10–15 working days from the date your application reaches the Irish visa centre in Dubai, though some applications are approved within 5–7 days depending on complexity. During peak seasons (summer and Christmas), processing may extend to 20–25 days, so we recommend applying at least 4–6 weeks before your travel date. Green Apple will track your application status and notify you the moment your visa is ready for collection or delivery to your Dubai address.

Ireland visas issued from Dubai are typically single-entry, meaning once you exit Ireland and re-enter another country, you cannot use the same visa to return to Ireland. However, if your travel plans require multiple entries within the Schengen area (which includes Ireland), you can request a Schengen multi-entry visa, and we'll guide you through the application process and advise whether your specific travel itinerary qualifies for it.

Our service starts at AED 1,400, which covers our agency fee and visa processing assistance. The Irish visa centre charges an additional consular fee (approximately AED 500–700 depending on your visa type) paid directly to them during application. We also offer FREE pickup and delivery of your documents throughout Dubai, saving you time and transport costs, and our WhatsApp support team is available to answer questions during your application.

Yes, that's one of our core services. We collect your completed application form, documents, and passport from your home or office anywhere in Dubai at no extra charge, verify everything is correct, and submit your application directly to the Irish visa centre on your behalf. You only need to visit the centre if the visa officer requests an in-person interview, which is rare for tourism and business visas, and we'll notify you immediately if that's required.

Ireland does not offer visa on arrival for UAE residents; you must obtain your visa before traveling. As a UAE national or resident, you need to apply through the Irish visa centre in Dubai, which is why starting your application at least 4–6 weeks before your trip is essential. We handle the entire process remotely, so there's no reason to delay—contact Green Apple via WhatsApp today and we can schedule your document collection within 2–3 days.

If your application is rejected, the visa centre will provide a written reason explaining the grounds for refusal, such as insufficient funds, weak travel purpose, or documentation issues. Green Apple will review the rejection letter with you at no extra cost and advise whether you can reapply with strengthened documents or if you should appeal. We've successfully helped many clients reapply after addressing the visa officer's concerns, and our approval rate is among the highest in Dubai.

Yes, travel insurance covering at least EUR 30,000 (approximately AED 115,000) for medical expenses and repatriation is mandatory for your Ireland visa application. We recommend purchasing Schengen-compliant travel insurance from providers like Allianz, AXA, or local UAE insurers before submitting your application. Many of our clients purchase 30–90 day policies starting at AED 150–300, and we can advise you on which insurers provide instant online policy letters acceptable to the Irish visa centre.

Yes, if you're traveling or working outside the UAE, you can authorize a family member or sponsor to act as your representative in Dubai. You'll need to provide them with a notarized power of attorney letter, your passport copy, and all required documents, and they can meet Green Apple at our Dubai office or allow us to collect documents from their location. We'll handle the entire submission process, keep your representative updated via WhatsApp, and deliver your approved visa to them for safekeeping until you return.
