Yes you can apply but the Irish authority will definitely know and they will investigate your records because Ireland and the UK share immigration records. Be honest and explain what happened. If you lie in your application to the Embassy of Ireland you will receive another ban for 5 years.
Will I explain myself through a letter while submitting the Irish visa application?

Hello all,

Please does any one have a format for sponsorship letter and do travel insurance need to be purchased for visa application?

Thanks

Travel insurance is not mandatory but you can include it if you wish to.

dotcomnamename or anyone please wot do u advise...my treasury bills expires by this month end...and I plan to apply for visa in three weeks time.
Considering the fact that mass payment on statement of account will look suspicious and I also have a sponsor....do I just get a tbill certificate or reinvest...the later option will mean the balance in the account won't be much. Thanks

OFFICIAL:


From 11 December 2017 the new Irish Residence Permit (IRP) has replaced the 'GNIB card'. Do not apply for an IRP until your current GNIB card expires.

The Irish Residence Permit (IRP) is your registration certificate. You will be given an IRP whenever you register with immigration. Your IRP is a very important document and you must carry it with you at all times.

The new IRP has exactly the same legal status as the old GNIB card. It does not give you any new rights or entitlements and your responsibilities stay the same.

Do not apply for a new IRP if you currently hold a valid GNIB card. Wait until your GNIB card expires (or is lost or stolen) and then apply as normal.

About the Irish Residence Permit (IRP)
An Irish Residence Permit (IRP) indicates:

That your immigration permission to stay in Ireland has been registered
The type of immigration permission you have, ie stamp number
The IRP is not an identity card. It is a registration certificate. It is not valid for any reason except to certify that you are registered with immigration in Ireland.

You must carry your IRP with you at all times and present it to an immigration officer or a member of An Garda Síochána (police) if requested. This includes whenever you leave or re-enter the country.



What an Irish Residence Permit (IRP) looks like
The Irish Residence Permit (IRP) is a credit-card sized plastic card that displays basic information about you. This includes:


Your name, photo, date of birth and registration number
A brief description of your immigration permission, including your permission stamp number
A microchip with a copy of your photo, fingerprints and personal details as above
The IRP does not give you any new rights or entitlements.

For example, an IRP does not allow you to travel to or live freely in other EU countries. All existing travel and immigration rules still apply.

It is your responsibility to check what you need to enter other countries before you travel.

Who needs an Irish Residence Permit (IRP) ?

If you are a non-EU/EEA and non-Swiss citizen and you wish to stay in Ireland for any reason for longer than 90 days, you must apply for immigration permission and (if successful) then register. If your registration is successful, you will then be issued with an Irish Residence Permit (IRP).

To register you must:

Be a non-EU/EEA and non-Swiss national
Be aged 16 or older
Go to a registration office in-person
If you wish to stay in Ireland past the expiry date on your IRP, you must apply to extend your immigration permission and renew your registration. If successful, you will be given a new IRP.

An IRP costs €300 per person every time you register and renew.

You may also have to pay for a new IRP if your current card is lost or stolen.

How Irish Residence Permits (IRP) are issued
The process for issuing Irish Residence Permits (IRP) is different if you register in Dublin or outside Dublin.

Registration in Dublin:

If your register in Dublin, the immigration officer will arrange to send your IRP to you by post.

Make sure to confirm your exact address (including Eircode) before you leave the registration office.

Your IRP should arrive within 5 to 10 working days. If it does not arrive within 10 working days, contact us.

Registration outside Dublin
If your register outside Dublin, the immigration officer will arrange a date/time for you to return to the registration office to collect your IRP.

You cannot get an IRP during your first visit to a registration office outside Dublin because parts of the process are managed centrally.

You must return to the registration office to collect your IRP.

Change or update your details:

You must contact the Irish Naturalization and Immigration Service (INIS) to update your registration information if your personal details or circumstances change, for example:

You change your home/postal address
We made an error, eg we misspelled your name
Other details change, eg you change your name/gender
In some cases, we may issue you with a new Irish Residence Permit (IRP).

You must contact the Irish Naturalization and Immigration Service (INIS) to update your registration details.

Lost or stolen Irish Residence Permit (IRP) or GNIB card
You must contact us if your Irish Residence Permit (IRP) or GNIB card is lost or stolen.

You must also contact the Irish Naturalization and Immigration Service (INIS) if you were issued with a new IRP by post in Dublin, but it did not arrive after 10 working days.

The INIS will then investigate and (if necessary) prepare a replacement for you.

Hi,

Can someone who had previously overstayed in the UK for 9months in the last four years apply for Irish Visa?

It depends on the information the UK Immigration hold against you when you overstay as per if they are aware of your overstay. Off-course you can apply for an Irish Visa but be rest assured that Irish embassy will contact the UK about it.

@dotcomenamename is it compulsory I have an invitation letter before I can apply for a tourist visa?? can't I use hotel reservation as I am not staying long and I don't have anyone to invite me or stay with in Ireland....

No it is not necessary. You can use confirmed booking of hotel for your accommodation.

Honestly, there is no fixed amount to be in your account balance that can be determined for this answer. What Visa Officer wants to know is:

(1) Whether your purpose of visit is tourism only, and whether you will be back to your home country immediately post satisfying that purpose.
(2) Whether you have roots back in Nigeria, and whether these roots will bring you back to Nigeria or not after your trip.
(3) Whether you have sufficient funds to support your trip to Ireland or not.
(4) Whether you will use your tourism visa for immigration purpose.

As long as you are being truthful to yourself and honest about your visit to Ireland by proving above mentioned points, the Visa Officer will not hesitate to approve your tourism visa. But even a small doubt and your visa will be rejected.

One way to prove these points is through your financial documents (shares, property, etc) and that is where the question of bank statement comes into picture. However, it is important to have consistency in your bank statements before applying for your visa. I have friends that presented bank statement with balance of N35,000 only and was granted Irish Visa for tourism and i have friends that presented bank statement with balance of N30 million naira and was denied. Therefore, there is no fixed amount to be in your account balance.
