Visa Applications, Decisions, and Nationalities in Ireland

Closed

This dataset provides comprehensive information on visa applications processed by the Irish Immigration Service. It includes the number of visas applied for, granted, and refused, categorized by visa type as listed on www.irishimmigration.ie (e.g., Business, Employment, Join Family, Study, Tourism). Additionally, the dataset includes the nationality of applicants to offer insights into the geographic distribution of applications and decisions.

A dataset like this is available, but it does not distinguish between the many types of visa available, only long vs short term visas.

    Hi Séamus. The Open Data team here at the Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration have been looking as disaggregating Visas data by Visa type. Hopefully we will be able to start publishing this data in the near future.
