Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 November 2022
588. Deputy Neale Richmond asked the Minister for Justice if Irish citizens with family members in Russia are still able to bring family members from Russia to Ireland; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [59360/22]
View answerI can inform the Deputy, there has been no change in the application process in relation to family members of Irish nationals living in Russia, that would like to join their family here.
Individuals who are from a country that are visa-required to travel to Ireland will still need to apply for a visa to travel to the State. It remains the case that Russian nationals are visa required and must have a valid Irish visa before they seek to enter the State. Any person that wishes to make a visa application must do so online at: www.visas.inis.gov.ie/avats/OnlineHome.aspx.
The following pages on the Irish Immigration website may be of some assistance when creating a join family visa application;
