Ireland visa for Iranian citizens

For the tourist visa, Ireland’s official sources give a standard fee of €60, and applications are made on visas.inis.gov.ie. Processing time, as Ireland states it: Decisions are made in date order; the general guide is about 8 weeks from the date the visa office receives the file, longer if documents are missing or need checking. Longest stay on the tourist visa: Up to 90 days; the immigration officer at the border writes the permitted date on the landing stamp and may give less.
