Ireland · for applicants from Nigeria
Short-stay visa for tourism, visiting family/friends, or business of up to 90 days. Nigeria is a visa-required nationality, so this must be obtained before travel. Ireland is NOT in the Schengen area, an Irish visa is separate from a Schengen visa. Officer must be satisfied the applicant will leave.
