Consular Section of the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Ireland processes Russian visa applications for travellers in its consular district. The supporting document is determined by visa category: tourist confirmation, business or humanitarian invitation/MFA route, private invitation, study or work documents, while transit uses onward-travel evidence instead of an invitation. The Dublin Consular Section accepts regular visa applications only by registered post. In-person admission is available only by prior arrangement in emergency cases and exclusively for official, medical, humanitarian and urgent private visas. The unified eVisa remains a separate online route. The exact consular fee depends on nationality and category.
