What you need for Ireland, by passport.

Quick answers

Do I need a visa for Ireland?

It depends on your passport. US passport: No visa needed for up to 90 days. UK passport: No visa needed: live and work freely. Canadian passport: No visa needed for up to 90 days. Australian passport: No visa needed for up to 90 days. New Zealand passport: No visa needed for up to 90 days.

Good to know

Not part of Schengen. Ireland is in the EU but not in the Schengen area. Days in Ireland don't count towards your Schengen 90 days, and you don't register with the EU Entry/Exit System here.
