For the relevant traveller scope, is a visa, electronic authorisation, visa on arrival or no advance visa normally required?

A visitor visa may be issued on arrival to citizens of countries with which the Republic has diplomatic ties, as listed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from time to time. Except as provided under §5 (exemptions) and §6 (visa on arrival), citizens of all other countries must apply for a visa before entering.

Where/how is permission obtained when required, and under what important circumstances can a stay be extended or changed?

An application is made first to the Director of Immigration on the prescribed form after the prescribed fee is paid, with a letter indicating the duration of the visit. A visitor visa cannot be renewed or extended, and a V-1 holder may not change status while in the Republic.
