Hello People,

Please is there anyone in the house who knows how long it takes for Ireland Embassy to approve a family visit visa.I submitted my application on the 15th of July and my application status stills reads "Your application for visa has been forwarded to Embassy of Ireland Abuja".

Please i need intelligent response.

Thanks.

What type of family visa did you apply for?

Thanks for your prompt response.
I apply for a short stay visa to attend brothers wedding in September.

That is not family visa. It is a visitor's visa and it should take about 10 working days to process. Sometimes could take longer if they need to verify documents.

@ Juzme sorry for the mix-up.This is the third week,my brother is thinking of calling the embassy next week to know what is going on with the application.Do you think it is a nice idea?

It could take up to five weeks mate.

@ OP, I have submitted mine 7weeks on now, I sent bunch of emails to them, I contacted Dublin Visa section same old pending story, last year it took them over 12weeks to grant my cousin a visa, and he has been granted Ireland visa previously, they are just too slow for me

@ dalebutt1, Seven weeks

@ Nairalanders.

I can understand how u feel, like others have said. .visiting visa like this takes a long time, even British embassy takes ages to process one. You just have to keep ur fingers crossed and wait,
