Best Time to Visit

Influenced by the Gulf Stream, Ireland has a mild and wet climate, which means that regardless of the month selected, rainfall is to be expected all year round, but temperatures rarely ever drop below zero. Summer is considered to be the high season, but one might want to consider a visit during the grandiose St Patrick's Day celebrations, which take place on the 17th of March.

    Passport / Visa

    Ireland’s passport and visa requirements vary for different nationalities. If you are a UK citizen, you can just use official photo identification, whereas if you are an EU citizen, you need a national identity card. Visitors from EU countries (including Iceland, Norway, and Liechtenstein), the USA, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, do not need a visa to visit the Republic or Northern Ireland. South African visitors can visit the Republic of Ireland visa-free, but they need a UK visa in order to enter Northern Ireland. If you're not sure whether or not to apply for a visa, we recommend that you contact the embassy or consulate in your country.
