View answerA person, who is visa-required, wishing to come to Ireland to reside in the State with his/her parent, must submit an application for a "Join Family" visa. The applicant, or the person completing it on their behalf in the case of a minor, is required to submit their application and all relevant documentation to their nearest Consulate or Embassy. Where all the required documentation/evidence has been furnished and the Visa Officer is satisfied with the bona fides of the application, a D-type, long stay Visa would normally be approved.
Comprehensive information on the Visa Application process and the supporting documentation required is available on the website of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service, www.inis.gov.ie.
