Ireland By Activity

Additional Information

Entry Requirements

Ireland, along with the UK, is a member of the Common Travel Area. British nationals travelling from the UK don’t need a passport to visit Ireland. However, Irish immigration officers will check the ID of all passengers arriving by air from the UK and may ask for proof of nationality, particularly if you were born outside the UK. Airlines may also insist you carry a passport. You are therefore advised to take your British passport with you. This should be valid for the duration of your stay in Ireland.

Non-UK passport holders: please consult your embassy or consulate in your home country for the latest advice on visas and entry requirements.
