What you'll need

Tourism visa for Ireland

Specific to Colombian passport holders.

Start ~0–8 weeks before your intended travel date.

Order these first — they have the longest lead time

  • Valid passport

    Identity2–8 weeks

    Most countries require your passport to be valid for at least six months beyond your departure date, with two or more blank pages.

    How: Renew via your own country's passport office if expiring within 12 months.

Then gather these

  • Recent bank statements

    Financial1–5 days

    Usually 3–6 months of statements showing you can support yourself during the trip. Required for most embassy-issued tourist visas.

    How: Download PDFs from your bank's online portal. Some consulates require originals stamped by the bank.

  • Passport-style photograph

    Identity1–3 days

    A recent biometric photo to the destination's specifications. Most consulates require their own dimensions, not your home country's.

    How: Any high-street photo studio, or app-based services that meet ICAO 9303 spec.

  • Online visa application form

    Application1–3 days

    The destination's online form (DS-160 for US, gov.uk for UK, IRCC portal for Canada, ImmiAccount for Australia, e-Visa portal for most others).

    How: Apply directly on the destination government website — never via a third-party paid service.

  • Proof of accommodation

    Purpose evidence1–3 days

    Hotel bookings, an AirBnB reservation, or an invitation letter from a host covering the dates of your stay.

    How: Book refundable hotels (Booking.com Free Cancellation), or get a notarised invitation letter from your host.

  • Application fee payment

    Application1 day

    Payable to the destination government directly. Fees range from ~$25 (e-Visas) to $2,500+ (US EB-1).

    How: Card payment on the destination's portal. Receipt required for the application.

  • Onward or return ticket

    Purpose evidence1 day

    Proof you intend to leave the country before your permitted stay expires. Most short-stay visas and visa-free entries require this.

    How: Book a refundable flight or use a 24-hour hold from an OTA. Border officers can check the booking.

  • Travel medical insurance

    Financial1 day

    Schengen and many other tourist visas require €30,000 / $50,000 minimum medical cover for the duration of your stay.

    How: Buy from SafetyWing, World Nomads, Allianz, or any insurer that issues a Schengen-compliant certificate.

Lead times are global averages. Country-specific channels can be faster (FBI Channeler in days vs FBI Mail in months) — always check the destination's embassy or visa portal for current timelines.
