Question

I have UK work permit, Can I visit Ireland as a tourist?

Answer 1

UK extends to northern Irland. you can visit Northern Irland but not Southern Irland.

if you go by coach you dont need a passport, but by air, which is better you need a passport to show in the airport to fly.

Answer 2

The island of Ireland is split in two - the six counties that comprise Northern Ireland are part of the UK and you can visit Belfast for instance without a separate visa.  The Republic of Ireland is a separate country and you will need a visa to visit but that may depend on where you're from.  

This link leads to the Department of Foreign Affairs which has information on who does and does not need a visa:

Answer 6

Yes you can visit Ireland!!!! You have a permit to be and work in the uk, which includes northern ireland, this makes you a temprary uk resident, so you have free reign to travel there. THIS IS EUROPE!!!!!! You can visit anywhere in Europe, you just can't work.

Edit: Apologies for my total lack of knowledge. Yes you need a visa. It's quick and straight forward to get one. I live near the border, so should you ever be visiting northern ireland and need directions, probably best if you don't ask me. lol.

Answer 7

As long as you have a passport from somewhere in the world you can go anywhere - marvelous eh!
