Effective from 13 March 2020 the Ireland Ministry has introduced mandatory courier returns to limit the spread of COVID-19 outbreak and also contribute to other measures we have already put in place to protect our staff and customers. The measure is valid for a temporary period, until the risk of Covid-19 has significantly reduced.

As a precautionary measure and in order to avoid the spread of the novel Coronavirus/ Covid-19, all applicants visiting the Visa Application Center are required to have their body temperature checked at the entrance. Those who have a fever will be asked to leave and return another day when their health improves.

Mirpur Visa Application Centre closed until further notice

Unfortunately, due to the earthquake near Mirpur, Pakistan, customers are advised that the VFS Global Visa Application Centre in Mirpur will remain closed until further notice.

If you have an appointment for the coming days, please email infoIreland@gerrys.com.pk, and they will help you reschedule or arrange an alternative location to visit.

If you are booking a new appointment, please select one of the other Pakistan Visa Application Centres, in Islamabad, Lahore or Karachi. Operations at these Visa Application Centres continue as normal.

If you are due to collect your passport from the Mirpur Visa Application Centre, one of our team will contact you shortly to discuss arrangements for this, and in the meantime, anyone with an urgent query can contact us on: 0092-51-8840049 between 08:00 - 17:00 Monday to Friday.

We will post further updates here, as soon as they become available.
