Samples of cover letters for an Ireland Tourist Visa

When applying for an Ireland tourist Visa, your cover letter is an opportunity to show your recipient why you qualify. The best format for writing a cover letter is as follows:

• Address the recipient with a formal salutation. For example, “Dear/Hello (name of the recipient).” If you do not know the recipient’s name, you can refer to them as sir/madam.

• Write a brief statement about why you are interested in visiting Ireland.

• Make a brief statement about your purpose for choosing the country. Next, disclose if you have already paid for accommodation.

• Next, clearly state that you intend to return to your home country after completing your adventure.

• List the expenses/funds and the documents and items attached to the application.

• Conclude your letter with a forward-looking statement.
