Colombian nationals require visas for entry to Ireland.

The student visa guidelines may be accessed on the web-pages of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service, www.inis.gov.ie. These guidelines apply to all visa required nationals who wish to travel to Ireland for the purposes of study. I would also direct the Deputy's attention to the Guidelines for Language and Non-Degree Programme Students, which are available from the INIS web-pages.
