Why does Irish visa require so much paperwork?

The EU has freedem of travel, work, and residence for EU citizens. Some of them wanted to make things even easier for EU citizens, so they decided on the Schengen agreement. EU citizens are allowed to cross internal Schengen borders without routine passport controls.

Of course it is impossible to remove passport controls for EU citizens only (they’d have to prove their citizenship to show that they don’t have to show their passport). So they extended the Schengen provisions to visitors as well and unified their visa policies.

The ease of travel within Schengen is an anomaly, not a normal situation.

The Embassy required her to send these by post:

First things first: your friend is fortunate to have such a detailed road map, and should be thankful for that. Other visa regimes are much more nebulous about their criteria. So make sure every item is submitted and enclose a transmittal letter that enumerates all of your evidence.

The bank statements should be originals on bank paper. This is a ‘best practices’ approach anyway and it’s great they have been clear about it. Make sure the bank statements are high quality and very recent with nothing missing for the entire six months. Also make sure the statements are free from anything that might look like funds parking.

As the host you have the option (but not the obligation) to include your own bank statements. The advantage is that it helps to verify your stability and lifestyle.

Why is Ireland’s immigration policy so strict?

There is an open land border between the ROI and the UK. This heightens the possibility for abuse and they are worried about having the UK remove illegals to the Republic. Also, via the UK as a proxy, the ROI has data sharing and intelligence sharing responsibilities.

But pushing politics and treaties aside for a moment, the most durable answer to your question is that the ROI’s policy is a part of WHAT IS. There can be dozens of different answers and knowing all of them will not change anything. They have been fair in giving your friend a detailed list of things that can be collected within a day or two at most. It’s a great road map for success.
