Ireland has thus become the number one tourist destination in Europe. It must be said that its iconic landscapes, the warm welcome of its inhabitants, as well as the numerous tourist attractions available in Ireland make it one of the most visited countries in the world, especially since the Guinness Storehouse has been cited as one of the best tourist destinations in Europe.
Thus, the country welcomes every year more than 10 million tourists who come to enjoy the advantages of the country, such as: its wild landscapes, its gastronomy and its activities. And this number continues to grow to the point that tourism professionals predict a real Irish tourism boom in the years to come.
One thing is for sure: Ireland is an attractive destination! So whether it’s for a weekend or a longer stay, it would be a shame not to take the opportunity to organise a little trip to Ireland.
1. Visas
If you wish to travel to Ireland, depending on your country, you may need to apply for an Irish visa. The Irish visa is a pre-entry requirement, which people from certain countries must obtain in order to be allowed to travel to Ireland. In addition, after arrival, they must obtain permission to stay from an immigration officer before they can enter Ireland. When you apply, you must have several documents to support your application.
Our service in this regard starts with the online application and ensures that the correct support documentation required is provided.
Our service also appeals to decisions concerning the refusal of visas (Visitor, Tourist, Business, Labour, Investor etc.).

2. Students
There is no doubt that it is much easier and more advantageous to study in a foreign country where English is the official language. Ireland is an English-speaking country, which removes the language barrier for many students. However, the pronunciation in Ireland is a bit different from what you are used to. But it is still an easy accent to master. This allows you to discover a new culture without falling into the language trap.
Among the most important conditions for successful studies is, of course, to be in a favourable environment in which all the conditions for living in peace are met. And indeed, Ireland is one of the safest countries in the world.
Ireland is a study destination that not only experts from around the world but also alumni recommend.
There is no doubt that Ireland has internationally recognised qualifications in university education. In addition, students can choose from a wide range of programs depending on their needs and skills.
In terms of employment, Ireland is a country that offers many opportunities for graduate students. Companies such as Twitter, Apple and Facebook are based there. This means that once you have completed your studies in Ireland, your chances of working in Ireland will be higher than in other countries.
In addition, Ireland is now home to nine of the world’s top ten pharmaceutical companies, as it is one of the largest exporters of pharmaceuticals in the world.

Persons authorised to stay in the State by the INIS must also register with the Garda National Immigration Office.
The intention of immigration authorities in reviewing applications for de facto partnership immigration clearance (DFPIP) is to allow genuine long-term relationships to continue. It is intended to provide a means by which couples who are already living together in a committed relationship can remain in Ireland on that basis alone. For immigration purposes, a person may be considered to be the common-law partner, either of the opposite sex or the same sex, of another person.
