On the 25th of February 2022, Minister McEntee announced the lifting of visa requirements between Ukraine and Ireland. This emergency measure applies to all Ukrainians nationals travelling to Ireland regardless of their place of residence, destination within the State or the purpose of their visit to the State.
It is open to any person to leave the State. However, they should check with the authorities of their intended destination as they may be subject to specific immigration requirements at their destination. All travellers should also check with the carrier (airline or ferry company) to ascertain what documents they require for travel.
Entry into the State, for both visa required and non-visa required nationals, is solely at the discretion of the Immigration Officer at the port of entry. The onus is on the individuals to have all documentation relating to their reasons for entering Ireland for presentation to the Immigration Officer to gain entry.
