I am not a US citizen.
I am a legal permanent resident, and I have a valid green card.
I am a citizen of China.
I am qualified to apply for citizenship, but have not done so.
Do I need to apply for a visitor's visa to Ireland?
Please help, I have already bought airline tickets for next month...

You may also use this website. Enter your nationality, that you are an alien resident of the U.S.A. and your destination, and it will tell you if you need a visa. Go to second website for info on applying for a visa.

If you are a Chinese national, you need a visa to enter any EEC country even if you have a green card that allows you to reside and work in the USA. China has not signed into the Schengen Agreement and there is no visa waver agreement in place as if you were an American citizen. I would contact the nearest Irish Consulate /Embassy immediately.

You need eight weeks before you travel, and you probably will have to delay your departure .
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

China is not on the list so you will need to go to the Irish embassy and apply for a visa

no as long as you have a valid passport, you can stay in ireland for up to 90 days without a visa. If i were you though i would check your local passport office or whatever its called in china and see if different regulations apply to china but i dont think they do. hope that helps

There's no point in asking questions like that here. You need to contact the Irish Embassy or Consulate in China, and they should be in your national telephone directory.
I think you probably do need some sort of a visa, but if you're only going to be in Ireland for 10 days, it shouldn't be too much hassle.

you reside interior the united kingdom. Do you have a british passport? If no longer then you definately do no longer prefer a visa because of the fact i went to Dubai without a visa on a British passport. i do no longer think of its approximately your race because of the fact i'm chinese language and stay in uk
