Hi Guys

I am a naturalised Irish Citizen , 22 years of age and my brother is a non eea meaning his not a member of the eu , im getting frustrated because his never been able to come and see this part of the world , i would just like him to visit me just so he can get exposure to the western world , i know i can apply a visa and all for him but my real question is how hard or easy is it for him to obtain a visa to come and visit me based on the fact that i am now an Irish Citizen aswel as my mother and father and he is 27 years of age ?

It is your brother applying for the visa. So he should contact his nearest Irish embassy or consulate and enquire about applying for a short stay visa. In many cases they will set out a list of requirements he must meet. The difficulty depends on the applicants ability to meet the requirements and whether they believe he will abide by the terms of the visa.

I guess the first question is, does he need a visa? Citizens from many countries (i.e. Latin America) do not require a visa to visit Ireland for less than 3 months. If he does, he needs to apply in the visa embassy, I guess you will never know how easy or difficult is until you try it.

No, they do need a visa, they can just get it at the border (eg Brazilian tourists can get a visa upon entry.) Most countries outside Europe need a visa to enter, it's just a question of whether you can get the visa at the border or not.

List here of the 18 countries that don't require a visa (all other countries do)

OP, please ignore this entire post as the information in it is completely wrong.

See attached schedule for countries that do not require visas,

http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/(List%20of%20Countries)%20S.I.%20417%20of%202012%20Schedule%201.pdf/Files/(List%20of%20Countries)%20S.I.%20417%20of%202012%20Schedule%201.pdf

Visas are never issued at Irish points of entry. Non EEA passport holders are given permission stamps at the point of entry but never visas. Visa required nationalities must obtain a visa prior to entry.

How hard it is to obtain a visa is dependant on many factors, eg ties to home country, security of employment, likely hood to comply the visa conditions, previous travel history etc. it is impossible for anyone here to say how difficult it will be for your brother to get a visa.

Ignore the entire post? Even the link to the page which gives the same information that you gave? Condensing much?
