Information On Visas And Residency In Ireland
U.S. citizens may enter Ireland without a visa and remain in the country as a tourist for a maximum of 90 days per trip. If you wish to stay longer than 90 days, you need to seek permission to remain in the country.
Residency in Ireland is not difficult to obtain, but requires a minimum annual stay in the country.
Like many countries in Europe, Ireland grants residency to foreigners who can prove they can take care of themselves (that is, pay their own bills and not be a burden on the state).
There are many questions about the Ireland Visa… Firstly, residency in Ireland can lead to a second passport and dual citizenship in this country.

If you plan to continue on your visit in Ireland after the expiration date of your IRP, you must apply to extend your approval for immigration and to update your registration. You will be granted a new IRP if effective.
Each time you register and renew, an IRP costs € 300 per user.

Also, you may be eligible through your great-grandparents, but only if your parent became an Irish citizen by descent before your birth.
