Do I need an appointment to submit documents directly?
Ordinary regular-visa filing is not an appointment or walk-in service in Ireland: use registered post. In-person admission is limited to the emergency categories and prior-arrangement conditions published by the responsible mission.
How do I pay the consular fee for a direct submission?
The amount, payment method and payment timing depend on the responsible mission, nationality, visa category and processing option. Use that mission's current official fee and payment instructions. If the mission directs applicants to a named visa center, confirm any separate service fee through the official source it identifies before filing.
Is biometric data collected when applying directly?
Biometric requirements, where applicable, are determined by the responsible Russian mission and the applicant's circumstances. Confirm whether an in-person biometric step applies to you and where it is performed before your appointment.
Where do I submit if there is no visa center in Ireland?
No separate visa application center is listed for Ireland. Confirm the current submission channel and appointment process on the responsible Russian mission's official page before applying.
