It is open to the person concerned to make a visa application on-line through the following link: https://www.visas.inis.gov.ie.
Each visa application is considered on its individual merits, the onus resting with the applicant to satisfy the Visa Officer as to why the visa should be granted. It should be noted, however, that where there is a possibility that the applicant may become a burden on state resources, that will be taking into consideration when arriving at a decision. All information that the applicant wishes to be taken into consideration should be included when a visa application is submitted.
Information on making a visa application can be found on the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Services website (www.inis.gov.ie). It should be borne in mind however that the information contained on the website is intended to act as a guideline only. It does not limit the discretion of the Visa Officer in dealing with individual applications.
In this case, citizens from China must send their signed summary sheet and supporting documents to the Visa Office, Beijing.
