a few of us are going to dublin in a few weeks and i have spoken to a few people about whether we need a passport or not all with varying answers.


so advice please

Check the website of the airline - they're all making stricter rules - at least with the passport you know you're OK.

What airline are you flying with?  The answer used to be no (any photo ID would do), but I'm pretty sure Ryanair state that you must have a valid passport to travel now.

2. Do I need a passport to come to Ireland?

If you are a citizen of the European Union you need a passport or national identity card in order to enter the Republic of Ireland. We strongly recommend that you bring a passport as a form of identification if you have one.

Passports: Valid passport required by all except:
(a) 1. persons born in the UK travelling direct from the UK (applicable to British passport holders only);


unless the airline requires it eg ryanair/easyjey might

I think its just photo ID.  Prob varies with airlines though.

So you don't need a passport if you have a passport?

By boat NO apparently but by plane then its a yes,

or you could do it sofa-king style and swim FTW

see what im saying? 7 replys all with different answers!

not all 7 of us have a passport and to late to get one before we go.

looking to fly from luton with ryanair

check with Ryanair.  I know I've flown to Ireland with them with just my driving licence before, but that was a good few years ago.  Legally you don't need one, but the airlines will have their own policiies.

For British and Irish citizens who are travelling on flights to/from the United Kingdom to/from the Republic of Ireland (Common Travel Area), a valid driving licence with photo is acceptable photo ID. Passengers who are citizens of other countries travelling on these routes must present a valid passport (with visa if applicable) or a National Identity Card issued by the government of a European Economic Area (EEA) country.

found that on there website so driving license photo id looks ok

when i went to waterford in June a driving licence was fine

happy gambling

you can get a passport in about 2 days, in fact I've got my last 2 same day so just get passports to be on the safe side

there are two seperate issues here.

Airline requirements to satisfy photo id - most airlines require some form of photo id now - check with the airline to see what they require

immigration - there is no passport requirement for UK Residents to enter the ROI.
