Embassy of Ireland

I have not went to this place physically as my Visa was managed by VFS Global but I got my study visa in just 2 weeks. This is super fast service. I faced no issues with them while my visa process and I am glad that I chose Ireland for my higher studies.

I don't know what all the bad reviews are about. I got my passport back with an employment visa in 7 business days, lightening speed from an employment visa processing time perspective. Kudos to the amazing people who work here!

I am sharing our good experience which we had in 2018. My wife had to attend a conference and hence we made a joint application for a conference visa for her and tourist visa for myself. Since it was peak season, we applied almost a month before the departure date. In the second week of applying, I got a call from embassy at around 8:30 at night informing that the NOC document of my wife had errors wrt travel dates and told us to email the corrected certificate asap. Infact they called on my wife's phone first, and since they couldn't connect with her due to network issues, they contacted me. We did it and got our visas one week before departure. When we collected passports from VFS, we realised that the visas were not BIVS endorsed. Since we had planned to return through London, it was necessary. We emailed to the embassy regarding this and went there the next day without taking any prior appointment. We were apprehensive. However, the embassy staff knew about this issue from our email and they were very kind to let us in, and issued BIVS endorsed visas on that day itself without any additional documentation or charges. So, overall my experience with Embassy of Ireland in Delhi is Excellent, with very helpful and kind staff, and Ireland was such a beautiful country with fantastic people worth the visit. Thanks to Embassy👍👍

I have US, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia and Australian visa, and so far, Ireland is the WORST embassy I have dealt with. The customer service lady was very rude on the phone, they did not get back to you in a timely manner. Even after 3 weeks, there was no response on the business visa application. Who the hell wants to stay illegally in a country like Ireland? Not sure why are they so stuck up about giving visas. AVOID!

After reading those reviews, one would wonder what s in store !! Skeptical and highly judgmental in my approach, I applied for an Ireland tourist Visa ! Buy guys, I was in for a surprise. Got my Visa within less than 3 weeks. And the staff at the Irish Embassy New Delhi DO respond on phones and emails too. Got a reply to my query almost immediately. Thank u Irish Embassy !!
