How do I book an immigration appointment at Burgh Quay in Dublin?

The Burgh Quay Registration Office in Dublin is the immigration registration office for non-EEA nationals living in the Dublin area. All first-time registrations and certain renewal appointments for Dublin residents are handled through this office. Appointments must be booked online; walk-in appointments are generally not available.

To book an appointment, applicants must visit the Burgh Quay appointment booking system on the Irish Immigration website. Appointments are released periodically and can fill up quickly, so applicants should check the system regularly. It is advisable to book as early as possible, particularly during busy periods such as the start of the academic year when many international students are registering.

When attending the appointment, applicants should bring their passport, evidence of their reason for being in Ireland (such as an employment permit, college enrolment letter, or proof of relationship to an Irish or EU citizen), proof of address in Ireland, evidence of private medical insurance where required, and the registration fee of EUR 300 (payable by card only). Applicants under 18 do not need to pay the fee.

If you live outside the Dublin area, you do not need to book at Burgh Quay. Instead, contact your local Garda Station to arrange registration with the local Immigration Officer. Processing at the appointment is usually completed on the same day, and the IRP card is posted to the applicant's address.
