Turkish passport holders need a visa to enter Ireland. Ireland is not part of the Schengen area, so a Schengen visa does not cover Ireland. Apply online at visas.inis.gov.ie, then submit documents at a VFS Global center in Istanbul or Ankara. The short-stay visa costs EUR 60 (about TRY 2,220) for a single entry or EUR 100 for a multiple entry. Required documents include a completed application form, passport photos, proof of funds (bank statements for at least 6 months), accommodation details, a return ticket, and travel insurance. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the planned departure. Processing takes 4 to 8 weeks.
Turkish nationals holding a valid UK short-stay visa can travel to Ireland without a separate Irish visa under the Short Stay Visa Waiver Programme. This applies to visits of up to 90 days, provided you enter Ireland from the UK. The programme covers tourism and business visits but not study or work. This is a useful shortcut for travelers combining a UK and Ireland trip on a single UK visa.
