Question

I have a uk visa can i use this to go to either parts of ireland?

Answer 1

You can visit Northern Ireland, but not Southern as they are a completely different country.

Answer 2

Yes you can use it in both parts of Ireland, even though they are different countries.

Answer 3

Your visa will be OK for Northern Ireland, as it is part of UK but maybe not for the Republic of Ireland, which is not part of UK.

Answer 4

only northarn ireland because the rep of ireland has a diffirent goverment

Answer 5

Definately Northern Ireland.

If the country that issued your Passport is in the Visa Waiver Program, you will be able to enter the South for a short stay legally, but not to work, provided you do the paperwork.

Although it is very easy to cross the border with no paperwork (there being no checkpoints since the peace process), and in any case Irish or British citizens don't need any paperwork, this is illegal and if caught, you will be arrested and deported - so don't do it.

Where are you from? - country, not your address!

Answer 6

Northern Ireland yes for sure, but not sure about Eire (Southern Ireland) as it isn't UK

Answer 7

The sooner the better.

Answer 8

I live in Northern Ireland, and whilst 10-15 years ago there would have been checkpoints at the border, these are now all gone.  Not sure of the legalities, but you can certainly go to Northern Ireland (as part of UK) with your Visa, and cross the border at your leisure.  Not sure what would happen if you were stopped by the authorities in the South, but this wouldn't happen unless you're up to something!  The border is to all intensive purposes gone as far as day to day living is concerned and quite often you don't even know you've crossed it until you see the different traffic signs.

Answer 9

i don t know more about irland and uk.it is better to ask embassy of uk where you got your uk visa. they help you more.

Answer 10

Northern Ireland perhaps but not the South.

Answer 11

the republic of ireland is not part of the eu

Answer 12

Yeah you are allowed to travel to northern ireland it is a country

part of the uk

you can do this for example by plane or boat and show your visa at the customs

once you have got there, you can now try to take a train south to the republic of ireland if you like it is very rare they check on the train for this. or travel by car.........there are so many roads connecting northern ireland and republic of ireland that it is extremely easy to travel between one and the other, as some people travel back and forth from one to the other.  once you stay out of trouble this wont be any hassle..........then when going home leave through uk............and nobody will know you have been to the south of ireland

ps this is just my opinion and not legal advice hope it helps

Answer 13

yes. the visa is for entry into the UK. you will have to fill in a small form on your return

Answer 14

Officially your visa is valid for Northern Ireland, but not the Republic.

Unofficially you could enter the Republic and, as long as you don't do something silly like get arrested, nobody would check.
