I want to fly to Dublin ,Ireland from wales. Do I need a passport?

Question

I shall be travelling with my wife and 2 children under 12 years old

Answer 1

Technically no you don't need a passport to visit Dublin. This agreement has been in place for many years! However, most airlines do ask now for official photographic evidence of the people flying. The carriers that I know that ask for some form of photographic evidence are: Aer Lingus, Ryan Air, Easy Jet and British Midland (BMI).

My advice on this is for you to take your passport (even though there is no legal requirement) as the evidence, any one of these airlines could ask to see your ID.

Have a good trip and enjoy your visit to Dublin.

The following places are recommended as places to visit:

1. Dublin Zoo (Phoenix Park (No. 10 Bus to the same!))

2. Grafton Street - shopping

3. The Main GPO (Scene of where the uprising commenced and gaze at the bullet holes still in the walls!)

4. Barry's Hotel 1 Gt. Denmark St. (300 yards North of City Centre)

5. Temple Bar in Temple Bar Just south of the City Centre by the Liffey

6. Christchurch Cathedral

Travel tip: Don't use the sightseeing buses found on O'Connell Street, Instead buy a Dublin Bus 1 day or period pass. It will save you loads of money and all sights are accessible by Dublin Bus.

From the airport you can use the Airlinks bus (NOT THE COACH!) or bus 33 to the city centre.

Ireland uses the Euro so get some before you go (They will take British pounds in some places!)

Answer 2

any flights to or from Ireland you need pass ports

Answer 3

I think its your best option to bring your passports( and the wife and kids!)

But normally(if flying with ryanair for example) just a photo id is fine for travel between the uk and ireland.

Good luck and enjoy your trip, im sure you'll have a great time!:)

Answer 4

you did not need one but due to the new terrorism checks

yes depending on the air line phone the air line

ask them

Answer 5

Yes, unfortunately. Because of goons like Michael O' Leary.....

Answer 6

Strictly speaking you do not need a passport just a form of official photo ID. For adults this can be either passport or driving licence. For children though it will need to be a passport.

Answer 7

You need a passport for any flight now.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Yes you need to take your passport! Have you got passports for the kids also? Its always fun trying to get them to sit still for the photo!

Answer 10

No we let the welsh in without passports... England on the other hand....

Answer 11

As a result of the The UK/Ireland Common Travel Area /Common Travel Area Arrangement (CTA) UK subjects and Irish citizens have the right freely to travel between the two jurisdictions without having to carry a passport.

However, some airlines now require photo-ID for flights to the UK, so you would need your passport in order to embark on the plane black home.

If I were you I'd get passports for the whole family.

Answer 12

You don't need one on the ferry so I doubt you will if you fly.

Answer 13

No, you don't need a passport to go from Wales to Ireland.I've been many times.

Answer 14

Check with your airline as different airlines require different documents.

However, generally to and from the uk Passengers over the age of 16 require EITHER a passport or driving licence with photo, and both have to be in date.

For children under 16 they do not need their own id but it is advised to bring along birth certs in case of any discrepencies.

Happy holidays

Answer 15

you don't need a passport to actually enter Eire but I think you may need one to get on a plane Just for security. Phone your airline for definite answer cos we may be wrong (but this is not on purpose)
