Travel Info Do i need to obtain an Ireland visa to travel to Dublin? I am currently on work permit in UK and a Pakistani? Travel Tips okay here goes... The Republic of Ireland and the UK have a common travel area (the CTA) which means that citizens of either country can travel within the area without a passport however this does not apply to non-citizens. There is no common visa available for the CTA and so anyone who is not an Irish or British citizen (this means UK citizen not British dependent territory or any of the other varieties of "not quite UK" british citizenship) will need a visa for the relevant country as though they were travelling from a third country. A wrinkle in this is that non-residents in either country may have to return to their home country to obtain said visa eg an Indonesian in Dublin who is not a legal resident in Ireland but is just present on a non-resident visa (eg business visa, tourism) cannot go to the British embassy in Dublin in order to obtain a UK visa to visit Newry or Belfast but must instead fly back first to the British embassy in Jakarta to apply (probably via London :-). I Kid you not. As a result of trying to maintain this CTA The UK and Ireland opted out of the Schengen Agreement on a European free travel zone so the same absurdity can happen to anyone visiting either of the 2 states that wants to travel on most of the rest of the EU. However once you get residency (work visa, student visa) then it becomes a little easier. Source(s): My partner is a non-EU national so we've been through the craziness involved in this several times. Other Travel Tips yeah you would need to obtain an ireland visa if your going to dublin because we don't want the irish to think your an intruder do we because that would be just plane awful if they did yes, because the visa is issued for the uk only and not for the Republic of Ireland, what you could do is give the Irish Embassy in london a ring they will be most helpful.from t in dublin. Dublin is in Northern Ireland and it is part of Great Britain and therefore if you have visa for GB then you should be fine to travel there. If you are traveling to EIRE then check the home office if it is ok to travel there. also, check if you have mutiple visa, you don't want to leave and then find out that you can't enter the UK on return.. Bobster needs to stay of the whiskey!! Dublin is in southern Ireland and is the capital of The Republic of ireland. If your visa is only for the UK then YES you will need to get hold of the Irish embassy and get a visa. Bobster = EEJIT I think that technically you do not need a visa to travel between the UK and Rep of Ireland but if you fly in with a Pakistani Passport they will give you a lot of hassle. If you really want to visit the easiest way is to fly into Belfast and come over the border if you want to see the republic. |
