No, most passport agencies and centers see travelers by appointment, while many acceptance facilities set their own walk-in rules.

Yes, many Indian passport holders can enter Ireland with a qualifying UK visitor visa, but the visa type, endorsement, and travel order decide it. A lot of travelers assume a valid UK visa opens Ireland too. That’s where trip plans go sideways. Ireland is not part of the UK, so a UK visa does not
