do you need a passport to travel to ireland?

Question

from london to ireland

Answer 1

When traveling UK to Ireland you need photo ID, not necessarily a passport.
If you are a citizen of an other country you will need to carry your passport or approved photo ID with you at all times on both countries, as in most countries.

Answer 2

Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdom but a Passport is always handy to have as photo ID

Answer 3

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe this is true - if you are a citizen of a EU member nation, you do not need a passport or visa (but need proof of citizenship) to travel to a member EU nation. It used to be like that for travel between Canada and the US (for citizens of those countries), but now you need a passport to cross the border by air. When you say Ireland, you surely must be referring to the Republic of Ireland (not part of the UK, but a separate nation), so EU laws would apply.

I don't know if EU has changed its policy on travel, but this is what I knew last time. If you are not an EU nation citizen, you'll have to check on visa requirements at the Irish embassy.

If in doubt, keep your passport handy (make sure it is valid at least six months beyond your travel date).

Answer 4

Yes...also Americans now need a passport permanently if they are leaving the USA for any area including Canada, Mexico, the Carribean etc. We are like the Europeans now in that regard who have needed passport like proof whenever they leave their country for any other.
