Non-EEA National Travelling to Ireland

    Hey! I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this...

    As I understand it, nationals from non-visa required countries (Schedule 1) are not required to obtain entry visas when travelling to Ireland. Let's take United States for example.

    When they arrive at the port of entry, an immigration officer will grant that person permission of leave by stamping their passport, which can be anywhere between 1 and 90 days, at the discretion of the officer.

    What I'm wondering is this... If a national from a Schedule 1 country travels to Ireland for say 90 days, then returns to their home country for say 30-40 days, then back to Ireland with the intention of staying for a further 90 days (or possibly longer for purpose of studying), can this cause any trouble or concern when re-entering the country?

    Muchas gracias!

    You need to differentiate between a visitor and a student.

    If someone plans to study here, then they will need a student visa and will be required to register with the GNIB. The students must have a minimum attendance rate of 80% for their student visa to remain valid and attendance records can and will be checked.

    Any legit educational establishment will check with a student to see that they are entitled to a student visa BEFORE they accept them. Letters will go back and forth.

    Because of a number of bad apples, they are following up on students more rigorously.

    You cannot study or work here on one of those 90 day entry schemes.
