Search public Irish visa office decision reports by application reference number. Includes Dublin plus imported official reports from Abu Dhabi, Abuja, Beijing and New Delhi.
Use the application reference on your visa receipt. Latest imported report per office is selected first; choose all reports to search the archive. Partial numbers are supported. The report date is its publication date.
These are imported report dates, not a claim that every office is current. Historical embassy imports remain searchable. Official links may contain newer decisions. Counts describe published rows, not your chance of approval.
| Office | Latest imported report | Coverage | Latest rows | Source |

Official queue dates published 27 October 2026.
These dates refer to receipt in Dublin, which can be later than submission. They indicate queues being worked on, not an individual decision date or a promised completion time. Other visa offices have their own queues.

Category A/B sponsor definitions follow the official family reunification policy. Irish-citizen and EU-family categories exclude the separate categories specified by ISD. Read the official table, definitions and exceptions →
Follow the issuing instructions sent to you. If you have not heard about issuing your visa, contact the embassy/consulate where you applied, or Dublin if you applied there.
Official next steps →Your refusal letter or email explains the reasons and whether you can appeal. A public report does not include those reasons. Contact the handling office if the letter has not arrived.
Refusal and appeal guidance →Check the number, handling office and selected report. Try all imported reports, then the official office link. Missing from these imports does not establish approval, refusal or pending status.
Find your official office →ISD states that it publishes decisions on Tuesdays. Queue dates may remain unchanged for some categories. This page shows the dates of the reports it has actually imported, and separately shows whether its automatic data connection is available.
This searches public decision reports. It cannot access your private application account, documents, processing stage or refusal reasons. Use the office handling your application for individual enquiries.
Reports may overlap. The archive preserves each publication, so one reference can appear in several reports and may have different outcomes at different times. Use the latest report for that office and confirm the position with the official source.
ISD describes exceptional emergency circumstances, including serious family medical situations or bereavement. An intended trip, course or job start does not by itself establish priority. Read the official criteria before making a request through the Customer Service Portal.
Emergency criteria and official portal link →ISD advises applicants to wait for a visa decision before paying for a travel ticket.
A report publication date is not an individual decision date. The totals above count imported rows across reports, which can include repeated references. They are not annual visa totals, refusal rates by nationality, or a prediction for an individual application.
The search dataset contains public application references, outcomes, office and report metadata. It contains no names or applicant documents. Searching filters this data in your browser; avoid entering your name or other personal information.
