Introducing the Visa Freebie in Ireland for Ukrainian People
Read Time:33 Second
Following the escalating situation in Ukraine, the Minister for Justice has announced the immediate lifting of visa requirements between Ukraine and Ireland.
The lifting of visa requirements unfortunately only applies to Ukrainian nationals. It aims to support and streamline the swift exit of family members of Ukrainian nationals living in Ireland.
It will apply as an emergency measure to all Ukrainian citizens travelling to Ireland.
Ukrainian nationals who are considering leaving Ukraine and travelling to Ireland will no longer need a visa to enter the country.
Ukrainian nationals who travel to Ireland without a visa during this period will then have 90 days after arrival to regularise their immigration permission.
