I'm sorry but this is not the official website of China Embassy in Ireland. It is recommended to contact the embassy directly for details confirmation.

Asked by Mary from N IRELAND | Aug. 02, 2023 10:03

Visa applied in Belfast, urgent need, can I get it in Dublin instead?

I went through the process of application via the Chinese Visa Application Service Centre for Belfast as I live in N Ireland but hold an Irish passport. There are no appointments in time before my expected departure so I don't know if it's possible to apply to Dublin for the visa ( and using the application form I made out already). Does anyone have any suggestions as I want to fly out end Sept 2023 as a tourist for 2 weeks

If you plan to apply in Dublin, you'd better fill another application form and make an appointment accordingly. Good luck~

It depends on the type of the visa.
