Question

Do uk visitors to R.O.I require to show passport?

Answer 1

Yes! This wasn't always the case but now you do because of all the new stricter regulations!!

Answer 2

Strictly, you shouldn't have to, but the UK passport authority now insist upon it and the UK doesn't have ID cards.

This is another case of the UK breaking with EU principles.

Technically, all citizens of EU coutries have the right of movement and work within all other EU countries, but recently the UK has decided it needed extra measures to protect from imigration.

Answer 3

Yes, I travel there frequently on business.

It never used to be the case but these measures were introduced for security reasons.
