If you are a foreign national who has to travel to Ireland for any type of business-related activity, you may have to apply for an Ireland business visa.

The Ireland business visa is a type of Ireland short-stay visa (also known as an Ireland C visa). It allows the holder to travel to Ireland, where they will have to go through Border Control and request permission to stay. This means holding an Irish visa does not automatically grant you the right to enter Ireland. It is the Immigration Officer at Border Control who makes this decision. They could refuse you entry even if you received an Ireland Business visa before traveling.

However, not everyone has to apply for a business visa to travel to Ireland...
