Bangladeshi applicants first need to qualify to secure an Ireland business visa. For this, check whether you can fulfill the criteria.

  • Invitation: You must have a business invitation to apply for your visa.

  • Financial support: You must have the ability to support yourself financially throughout the stay.

    For short stays, it is about financial stability and proof of the documents. 

    For an investment visa, the applicant must have a net worth of 2 million euros. The investment amount must be at least 1 million euros. And, applicants must invest it in an enterprise or approved fund. Remember, IIP has only four investment options with which you can get your visa permit. They are enterprise investments, investment funds, real estate investment trusts, and endowments.

  • Travel Health Insurance: The applicant must have this to apply for an Ireland business visa.

With a type-C Ireland business visa, visitors can stay in Ireland for up to 90 days. It is available as a single and multiple entry. The single-entry business visa grants one-time access to Ireland. In opposition, a multiple-entry visa allows one to enter Ireland multiple times from Bangladesh. 

A short-term Ireland business visa allows you a maximum consecutive stay of 14 days. Whether you have a single or multiple-entry visa, you cannot cross the limit.

On the other hand, a business investment visa initially grants a 2-year residency permit. This later on can be extended for another 3 years if the criteria match. The applicant can keep extending their investment visa after every 5 years. 

Ireland's business visa fees depend on the entry system. You can choose and pay for the one that is appropriate for you. A single-entry business visa to Ireland costs BDT 7950. But, if you choose a multiple-entry visa, it will cost BDT 13500. 

Ireland's business visa takes the least time to process among other purposes. Bangladeshi's Ireland business visa processing time takes around 12 to 15 working days. Incomplete document submission can extend the processing time.

On the contrary, Ireland's investment visa takes 3 to 4 months to process. But the percentage says it takes longer than the mentioned period. 

Ireland's business visa requires some documentary proof to apply. The proofs are necessary to show that your travel purpose is valid. This credibility can ensure that visa approval is obtained smoothly. Here you will get the list of the documents for Bangladeshi.
