What it means in practice

The officer at the border decides how long you may stay in Ireland; the date in your passport stamp is the one that counts. Ask for the days you need and carry proof of onward travel.

How Ireland counts your stay: Visitors may stay for the period stamped on entry, at most 90 days. A short-stay visa does not allow you to remain longer than 90 days.

At the border

Official details are shown in English.

  • Valid passport (EU/EEA/Swiss citizens may use a national ID card)
  • Officers may ask for your accommodation booking, return ticket and a contact address in Ireland
  • The immigration officer stamps your passport with the permitted length of stay

How to avoid overstaying

  • Go by your stamp or visa. The date the officer gives you is the one that counts, even if it is shorter than the maximum.
  • Extend before you run out. Visitors generally cannot extend beyond 90 days; for longer stays you need the correct long-stay visa or permission before travelling.
  • Penalties. Our data does not list the overstay penalty for Ireland. Ask the immigration authority before you risk it: fines, deportation and entry bans are common elsewhere.
