Document background
The Immigration Entry Form is a fundamental document in Ireland's immigration control system, required for all non-Irish nationals seeking entry into the country. This form must be completed prior to or upon arrival at Irish ports of entry, collecting comprehensive information about the traveler including personal details, travel history, purpose of visit, and various legal declarations. The document is designed to comply with Irish immigration legislation, including the Immigration Act 2004 and related regulations, while also adhering to EU data protection requirements. The form serves multiple purposes: facilitating legal entry into Ireland, maintaining national security, preventing illegal immigration, and creating a record of foreign nationals entering the country. It is particularly crucial for business travelers, students, workers, and tourists, requiring different supplementary information depending on the purpose of entry.
