Ireland is not part of the Schengen area, so a separate Irish visa is needed even if you hold a valid Schengen visa. Biometric data (fingerprints) must be provided as part of the application.
The Maglev from Longyang Road Metro station covers the 30 km to Pudong in 8 minutes (¥50 one-way, ¥40 off-peak). The Maglev does not reach the city center directly; transfer to Metro Line 2 at Longyang Road.

The elevated highway is faster than surface roads. Ride-hail via DiDi is comparable in price.
Airlink 747 coaches depart from outside both terminals every 10–15 minutes to the city centre (€7 one-way). Dublin Bus routes 16 and 41 are cheaper (€3.10 with Leap card) but slower, taking 45–70 minutes. Taxis are metered; expect €25–40 to the city centre depending on traffic and time of day.
