To enter Ireland as a tourist, you must demonstrate that you have enough money to support yourself and any dependents for the duration of your stay without accessing public funds. For visa-required nationals, this typically means providing six months of original bank statements on official bank stationery, showing a steady history of income and savings. There is no "fixed" daily amount officially published, but immigration officers generally look for a balance that covers your accommodation, food, and internal travel—often estimated around €75 to €100 per day per person. If you are staying with friends or family, this amount may be lower. For students, the requirement is more specific: you must show access to at least €10,000 for each year of study. If you do not require a visa (like US or Canadian citizens), you may still be asked by an immigration officer at the border to show a credit card or a bank app balance to prove financial self-sufficiency. Significant, unexplained "lump sum" deposits made just before travel are often viewed with suspicion by Irish immigration authorities.
