Travel requirements to Ireland for British citizens

Travellers do not need a visa to visit Ireland for Business or Tourism.

The Common Travel Area (CTA) is an arrangement between the UK, the Crown Dependencies (Bailiwick of Jersey, Bailiwick of Guernsey and the Isle of Man) and Ireland. Under the CTA, British and Irish citizens can move freely and reside in either jurisdiction and enjoy associated rights and privileges.

Travellers need a valid document to confirm their identity and nationality to enter Ireland.

For travellers who are confirmed citizens of the Common Travel Area (CTA) and have arrived from the United Kingdom, the Immigration Officer will not require any additional documents.

Travellers eligible to benefit from the CTA must provide one of the following:

• A boarding card;
• Documentary evidence confirming their name and nationality.
