I have been banned from the UK until February 2021 when I applied for a student visa in 2011 and was refused entry. This was due to a lack of fund in my account.
The money was deposited by my agent on my behalf and he withdrew it after a week without my knowledge. When they enquired my account they found I was not true with my bank details, and I have been banned from the UK automatically for 10 years.
Now I am planning to apply for a Irish visa. Will the ban affect my application?
The real answer is nobody knows. Your ban was for misrepresentation, not lack of funds.
Any immigration ban anywhere (actually any adverse immigration history anywhere) can affect other visa applications.This is particularly true and more likely for country’s whose application forms specifically ask about previous bans/deportation/refusals in other countries.
Some country’s applications do not ask about adverse history elsewhere so your previous transgressions elsewhere may never come up.
Because Ireland and UK are so tightly coupled, I would put your case in the more likely category especially when the ban is not spent. Would be better chances perhaps if you allow the ban to run out.
