Introduction
A convention travel document refers to a travel document issued in accordance with Article 28 of the Geneva Convention.
Visa requirement
A holder of a Convention travel document may not be subject to an Irish visa requirement for short stays of up to 90 days in Ireland.
In order for the holder of such a travel document to be exempt from an Irish visa requirement for short stays, the travel document must be issued by a European State which is a contracting party to the “European Agreement on the Abolition of Visas for Refugees”.
As of 12 noon on 19 July, Ireland is temporarily suspending operation of the European Agreement on the Abolition of Visas for Refugees for a period of 12 months. As of that date, holders of 1951 travel documents are required to be in possession of an Irish entry visa before travelling to the border. You can apply for an Irish visa online.
