Processing times depend on the category of visa application. They also depend on the volume of applications which varies throughout the year. The Irish Naturalization and Immigration Service and the Embassy of Ireland, New Delhi cannot guarantee the outcome or the length of time an application takes to process; neither can it guarantee the return of passport and documents within a certain time frame. This is due to the fact that visa applications are assessed individually and individual circumstances can mean processing times may vary and result in longer decision times
The visa processing time is variable, depending on your nationality and other factors. Usually, you will get an answer in 4 to 8 weeks from the date on which your application is lodged at the Visa Office/Embassy/Consulate
