An Applicant’s Family Members
If an applicant’s family members intend to join them in the State and require a visa, they must apply online for a long-stay Join Family visa before travelling to Ireland.
If their visas are granted, and after they arrive in Ireland, an applicant’s family must also apply for permission to stay and register with immigration. If successful, their permission will be dependent on the applicant’s status. For example, if an applicant’s immigration permission is withdrawn or if they leave Ireland, their family must also leave.
Non-Visa Required Family Members
If an applicant’s family members do not require a visa to travel to Ireland, they do not need to apply for a visa before joining or accompanying the applicant.
After arriving in Ireland and presenting themselves to an Immigration Officer at the port of entry, they must apply for permission to stay and register with immigration. If successful, their permission will also be dependent on the applicant’s status.
