Under the new visa scheme, Indian nationals can now travel to the UK and Ireland on a single short-term visit visa. However, the visitors will have to travel first to the country that has issued the visa. Ireland will be sharing the UK's visa application centres in India. So visitors to Ireland and UK can visit any of the centres for their appkications and biometrics. Details on www.vfsglobalirelandvisa.com/India/visa_application_centre.html.
