Regardless of how you entered Ireland, you must present yourself physically to the International Protection Office (IPO) to apply for asylum
. The IPO is the government body responsible for processing asylum claims in Ireland. During the application process, you will need to provide identification documents and any other relevant evidence to support your claim. The documents required may include documents related to your identity, nationality, and the reasons for seeking asylum. The purpose of the initial interview is to establish your identity, country of origin, nationality, details of the journey taken to Ireland, including countries passed through in which there was an opportunity to claim asylum and any assistance obtained over the journey and the details of any person who assisted you in traveling to the State; the method and route of entry into the state (legally or otherwise). It's important to note that each asylum case is unique, and the eligibility for asylum will be assessed based on individual circumstances and the merits of the case.
