Ireland tourist / visitor visa success rate for Qatari citizens

90.3% of Qatari US visitor-visa cases were approved in FY2025. Ireland publishes no tourist-visa outcomes broken down by nationality, so there is no official Qatari rate for this exact route, and any site quoting a precise percentage is estimating rather than citing. For reference, 84.9% of Schengen short-stay applications lodged in Qatar were issued in 2025. What is documented is the decision itself — officers assess whether you are a genuine visitor who will return home on time, and the single biggest lever is return intent. The estimator below weighs your own finances, ties, travel history and refusal record instead.

Where Qatar sits in the official data

Two governments publish visa outcomes broken down by country. Neither predicts an individual decision, but together they show how Qatari applicants fare relative to everyone else, and which of the destinations we cover currently refuses the fewest applications from Qatar.

US visitor visas — FY2025

A 9.7% adjusted refusal rate places Qatar 33rd of 199 nationalities the State Department publishes — a lower refusal rate than 83% of them. The median nationality sits at 31.8%, so Qatar is 22.1 points below it.

Schengen short-stay visas — 2025

Across all Schengen consulates in Qatar, 15.1% of short-stay applications were not issued — 62nd of 127 countries with a meaningful application volume, and 0.5 points below the 15.6% median.

Schengen short-stay applications lodged in Qatar in 2025, by issuing state. All rows use the European Commission's methodology, so they are comparable with each other — the US figure is computed differently and is shown separately above.

Among Schengen states, applications lodged in Qatar were refused least often by France at 8% and most often by Greece at 41.8% — a gap of 33.8 points on a like-for-like basis. That gap reflects who applies where as much as how strictly each state decides, so it is a starting point for choosing a main destination, not a ranking of leniency. You must still apply to the state where you will spend the most nights.

Demand and outcome moved together for Qatar between 2024 and 2025. Schengen consulates there decided 101,724 short-stay applications, against 103,616 the year before — down 1.8% — while the refusal rate went from 15.9% to 15.1%. That easing meant roughly 833 more applicants were issued a visa than 2024's rate would have produced.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an official Ireland tourist visa success rate for Qatari citizens?

Not one we currently carry. We only print a rate when we hold the publisher's own figure for this nationality and this visa category, and we do not hold one for Ireland tourist visas. The figure shown on this page is a modelled estimate built from published route-level data and your answers — we label it as such rather than presenting it as a government statistic. What you can act on is the documented requirement set below, which is what the decision actually turns on.

What matters most for an Ireland tourist visa?

Officers focus on whether you are a genuine visitor who will return home on time. In practice the single biggest lever is return intent, so make that part of your application as strong and well-documented as possible.

Does a previous visa refusal affect my chances?

Yes. A prior refusal weighs on new applications until its underlying reason is addressed. Find out exactly why you were refused, fix what caused it, and clearly show what is different this time.

Is this a guarantee of approval?

No. GetVisaOdds is an educational planning tool, not legal advice and not a guarantee. Only a consular or immigration officer can decide your application. We show approximate odds and the reasons behind them so you can prepare better.

Is my information private?

Completely. The estimate runs entirely in your browser. Your answers are never sent to a server or stored — there is no sign-up and nothing to leak.
