Question

Do i need a passport travel from the UK to Republic of Ireland????

Answer 1

Some times a driving license will do if it is recent and up to date it has to be a government form of identification. Enjoy Ireland it rocks....

Answer 2

Yes. It's a different country.

Answer 3

Yes you do

Answer 4

Why,do you not have one?

I have a feeling you don't need a passport to travel between Ireland and UK but I always use one regardless so not sure.

If in doubt I bet you can travel to Belfast without one and just get a train to the Republic

Answer 5

the answer is no if you are british i travel there often as my friend lives there and i always use my photo driving license.

Answer 6

yes, republic of ireland is a different country, they use euros there, making it a european country outside the uk.

Answer 7

No. As far as I know, if u are British u dont need a passport to travel to Ireland, but u do need some sort of photo ID (e.g. drivers license). That used to be the case anyway. They may have changed it.

Answer 8

you can travel from Ireland to the U.K with a driving licence as I.D. so I'm sure it works the same way from U.K to Ireland?

Answer 9

technically no - but as the u.k does not issue official photo identification (unlike say, germany) you have to travel with your passport.

Answer 10

Yes. I went there a couple of years back and had to go thru customs.

Answer 11

Yes u nedd a passport 2 travel from country 2 country even on a boat!!!

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

I assume you are British.  If so, in theory no, in reality yes.  In the EU, as a member you can travel between Member States with only your ID card.  But, as (unlike the rest of Europe) we don't have them, the only accepted from of ID is a passport.

I quote from the relevant authority:  "All Union citizens have the right to enter another Member State by virtue of having an identity card or valid passport. Under no circumstances can an entry or exit visa be required. Where the citizens concerned do not have travel documents, the host Member State must afford them every facility in obtaining the requisite documents or having them sent."

Given that this is THE definitive answer, it is difficult to imagine why some MORON has given it the thumbs down.  There is no point giving sensible advice on here if such imbeciles decry it.

Answer 14

You do NOT need a passport to travel between the UK and RoI (you can just drive back and forward between Northern Ireland, which is in the UK, and the Republic without even noticing you've crossed a border - all this stuff about it being a different country etc does not apply in this case). HOWEVER, you WILL need a passport or photo identification such as a driving licence to board an aircraft or a boat, so you need to check with your transport provider what their requirements are.

Answer 15

Yes u do.
