Courier return of passports has become mandatory for Ireland visa customers.

You no longer need to visit the Visa Application Centre to collect your passport. We will arrange for the return of your documents and passport directly to you, at a time and place of your preference.

Starting March 13, 2020, due to COVID-19 concerns and for everyone’s safety, Ireland visa customers are now required to use the courier service for passport returns. This means you don’t have to go to the Visa Application Centre to get your passport – it will be delivered to your chosen location by our courier partner, Blue Dart.

This change is temporary and aims to reduce the spread of the virus and lessen crowds at the Visa Application Centre. During this time, the courier fee is reduced to INR 500.

We will update this page when the courier service becomes optional again. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
