Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit IE?

Q: How long can I stay in Ireland without a visa?

Up to 90 days, with the exact period granted by the immigration officer at the port of entry.

Q: Does Ireland require ETIAS for Brazilians?

No. Ireland is not part of the Schengen Area, so ETIAS does not apply. ETIAS is only needed if you separately visit Schengen countries.

Q: Can I work in Ireland on a visa-free visit?

No. Visa-free entry is for tourism, visiting and short business/conference activity only. Paid employment requires a separate permission.

Q: What documents should I carry on arrival?

A valid passport, return/onward ticket, proof of funds, accommodation details and evidence of your visit's purpose.

Q: Is visa-free entry guaranteed?

No. The immigration officer at the border makes the final decision and can refuse entry or grant a shorter stay.

No visa required. Brazilian ordinary passport holders can enter Ireland visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days. Brazil is on Ireland's non-visa-required nationalities list, so a Brazilian citizen holding a valid ordinary passport may travel to Ireland for tourism or a short visit without obtaining a visa in advance. The permitted stay is up to 90 days, granted at the discretion of the immigration officer at the port of entry. Ireland is a member of the EU but is NOT part of the Schengen Area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule does not apply and the upcoming ETIAS travel authorisation does NOT cover Ireland — a separate Schengen/ETIAS process applies only if you also visit Schengen countries. At the border you should be ready to show a return or onward ticket, proof of sufficient funds, accommodation details and the purpose of your visit. Length of stay is decided by the Border Management Unit officer and is not guaranteed; overstaying or working on a visit stamp is prohibited.

/02 — The process

How to apply

/01

Confirm your passport is valid

Hold an ordinary Brazilian passport valid for the entire length of your intended stay in Ireland. Ireland does not require the 3-month-beyond-stay rule, but airlines and any onward Schengen travel may, so 6 months' validity is safest.

· Document· Before booking

/02

Book travel and accommodation

Arrange a return or onward flight and confirmed accommodation. There is no visa to apply for, but these documents support your entry.

Check Ireland is your only destination

Ireland is not in Schengen. If you also plan to visit Schengen countries, apply separately for ETIAS (once live) for that leg — it does not cover Ireland.
