Travelling from abroad
Sponsor letter for your visa application
If you're an international MCT and need a visa to travel to Ireland, we can provide a sponsor letter to support your application once your ticket is confirmed.
Do I need a visa for Ireland?
MCT Summit Dublin 2027 will take place in Dublin, Ireland, not in Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom and is subject to UK entry requirements.
Whether you need a visa to enter Ireland depends primarily on your nationality, passport or travel document, and immigration or residence status. Ireland is not part of the Schengen Area, so a Schengen visa alone does not permit travel to Ireland; Ireland operates its own visa system.
Check the official Irish Immigration Service website to confirm whether you need a visa and how to apply. You should also consult the Irish embassy or consulate responsible for applications from your country and make the necessary arrangements well before travelling to the summit.
What is a sponsor letter?
A sponsor letter is a short letter from the MCT Summit Dublin 2027 organising team confirming your registration for the summit. Many visa applications ask for a letter like this to support your application, alongside your own supporting documents.
How do I request one?
Sponsor letters are issued only once your ticket purchase is confirmed. If you think you'll need one, register first, then contact the organising team through the Team page or the registration platform to request your letter.
A sponsor letter supports your visa application, it doesn't guarantee a visa will be granted. You're responsible for your own visa application and travel arrangements, so apply as early as you can once your ticket is confirmed.
Reserve your seat first
A confirmed ticket is the first step towards your sponsor letter and your visa application.
