👆 Select the correct embassy from the Select embassy section above first — results only cover that embassy's published decisions.
Found on your application acknowledgement slip — typically 8 or more digits (e.g. 12345678).
This number doesn't appear in the decisions published so far. This could mean: your application is still pending, you applied through a different embassy than selected Irish Embassy (switch tabs above), or the number doesn't exactly match your acknowledgement slip — worth double-checking.
Is an appeal available? It depends on your visa type and refusal date. As of 1 June 2026, most short-stay (Type C) refusals can no longer be appealed; long-stay (Type D) refusals still can. A refusal letter dated before 1 June 2026 remains appealable under the previous rule regardless of type — check your letter's date and type first.
Common reasons applications get refused include insufficient financial evidence, an unclear or inconsistent travel/study/work purpose, missing or inconsistent supporting documents, and ties to your home country not being clearly shown — your refusal letter states the specific reason(s) for your own case.

📖 About This Tracker
Irish embassies publish visa application decision data on ireland.ie, and the Dublin visa office publishes its decisions on irishimmigration.ie. The data lists application numbers alongside their current status — Approved or Refused — but does not include names, so applicant privacy is preserved. Different offices publish on different schedules: some daily, others weekly.
This tracker downloads the latest data automatically each time you click Refresh, parses the decisions, and presents them in a searchable format. You can look up your own application number in seconds — no need to scroll through hundreds of rows in a spreadsheet. The approval and refusal percentages shown on this page are calculated directly from the office's published data. Use the tabs at the top to switch between embassies and the Dublin visa office.
This is an entirely independent, community-built tool. It is not affiliated with any Irish Embassy, the Dublin visa office, the Irish Government, or any government authority. All data originates from publicly available documents on ireland.ie and irishimmigration.ie and is reproduced here for informational purposes only.
Select the tab matching where you applied — an Irish embassy abroad, or the Dublin visa office — then enter your application number in the search box above. Your number can be found on the acknowledgement slip or reference document received at submission. This tracker searches through all publicly available visa decisions published by the selected office.
Where do I find my Ireland visa application number?
Your application number is printed on the acknowledgement slip or reference document you received when submitting your application — typically 8 or more digits. If you cannot find it, check your appointment confirmation email from the submission centre.
What is the current Ireland visa approval rate?
The live approval rate for the selected embassy or visa office is shown in the stats at the top of this page, calculated directly from that office's latest published data. Switch tabs to compare approval rates across different offices. The figure updates automatically whenever new decisions are published.
How often is the visa decision data updated?
Each office publishes on its own schedule. New Delhi publishes a spreadsheet every working day; Abu Dhabi, Abuja, and Ankara publish weekly PDF reports; Beijing publishes cumulative data periodically; the Dublin visa office publishes an online decisions table, updated weekly. This tracker checks for the latest data each time you click Refresh — the "Embassy file" date shown in the tracker confirms exactly when the data was last published.
Is this tool affiliated with any Irish Embassy or government body?
No. This is an entirely independent community tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any Irish Embassy, the Dublin visa office, the Irish Government, or any government authority. All data is sourced exclusively from publicly available documents published on ireland.ie and irishimmigration.ie.
How long does Ireland visa processing take?
Processing times vary by embassy. New Delhi typically takes 4–8 weeks from submission. Abu Dhabi, Abuja, and Ankara publish weekly PDF reports and usually process within a similar timeframe. The Dublin visa office generally processes within 8 weeks. These are estimates — the live stats on this tracker show exactly how many decisions have been published recently at your specific office.
What is the Ireland visa approval rate in New Delhi right now?
The current Ireland visa approval rate for New Delhi is shown live on this page — select the New Delhi tab to see the latest figure, calculated directly from the embassy's published ODS spreadsheet. Approval rates change over time as new decisions are released. The tracker updates automatically whenever the embassy uploads a new file.
Can I check Ireland visa status for UAE, Nigeria or Türkiye applicants?
Yes. This tracker covers six offices: New Delhi (India), Beijing (China), Abu Dhabi (UAE), Abuja (Nigeria), Ankara (Türkiye), and the Dublin visa office. Select the tab matching where you submitted your application. PDF embassies (Abu Dhabi, Abuja, Ankara) publish weekly reports; New Delhi and Beijing publish ODS spreadsheets which update more frequently.
What does "Refused" mean on the Ireland visa tracker?
If your application number appears with a "Refused" status, your visa application was not approved. The embassy is required to send you a written refusal notice explaining the specific reason. Depending on your visa type and the date of your refusal, you may have the right to appeal within two months of receiving the refusal letter — see below for details — or you can reapply with stronger supporting documentation addressing the stated reason.
Can I appeal a refused Ireland visa decision?
It depends on your visa type and refusal date. As of 1 June 2026, short-stay (Type C) visa refusals can generally no longer be appealed — appeals for short-stay visas are now limited to applications made under EU Free Movement rules. Long-stay (Type D) visa refusals still retain the right to appeal. If your refusal letter is dated before 1 June 2026, it remains appealable under the previous two-month rule regardless of visa type. Where an appeal is available, it's a free written request asking the same office to reconsider the original decision, usually alongside new evidence directly addressing the stated refusal reasons — different from a fresh reapplication. This tracker only shows published decision status and can't determine your visa type or appeal eligibility — check the instructions in your refusal letter, or consult an immigration adviser, for guidance on your case. The Application Guide has a fuller breakdown of appeal vs. reapplication options for each visa category.
What should I do if my Ireland visa application is refused?
Start by reading the refusal letter carefully — it lists the specific reason(s) for refusal and states whether an appeal is available for your case, since that now depends on visa type and refusal date (see above). Common next steps are: submitting a written appeal where one is available, or reapplying fresh with stronger supporting documentation addressing each stated reason. Reapplying without changing anything from a refused application is unlikely to succeed. This tracker cannot advise on your specific case — for that, follow the guidance in your refusal letter, speak with a qualified immigration adviser, or see the Application Guide's common-refusal-reasons section for the specific mistakes that most often trigger each type of refusal.
What visa types does this tracker cover — short-stay, study, work?
The embassies and the Dublin visa office publish their decisions as a single list of application numbers and outcomes, without breaking them down by visa category (short-stay/C visa, long-stay/D visa, study, work, join-family, etc.). This tracker mirrors that same published list exactly, so it covers every visa type each office decides on — it just can't filter or label results by category, because that detail isn't in the source data itself.
How accurate is the data on this Ireland visa tracker?
The stats and search results come directly from each office's own published file (a spreadsheet, PDF report, or decisions webpage) — this tracker parses that file automatically and shows exactly what's in it, without editing or estimating anything. If an office's own published data is delayed, incomplete, or contains an error, that will be reflected here too, since this tool has no independent source of its own. The "Embassy file" date shown on each tab tells you exactly which published version you're looking at.
Do I need an account to use the Ireland visa status tracker?
No — completely free with no sign-up required. Enter your application number and search instantly. Your number is never stored on our servers. An optional paid email alert ($2 one-time) — after a quick email confirmation — notifies you automatically when your status changes so you don't need to check manually.
