Question

Im asian,im in UK with as visit visa.Could i go to ireland(south) for a party with my uk visa?from belfast?

Answer 1

Phone the nearest Irish Embassy or Consulate and find out. Have details of your visa to hand when you phone, to save time.

Answer 2

Not normally.  The UK and Eire have agreements in place that allow nationals of either country to enter freely - but if you aren't British I think you will need a visa for Ireland...

Answer 3

If you are in belfast there is no border control when going into ireland.. So you could just drive down.. or get a bus.. they wont be checking for Visa's ;)

Answer 4

there is no boarder between the north and south of ireland...no security checkpoints and you dont even realise youve crossed the boarder....so its free to travel between, as i said, you wont even realise youve crossed the boarder.

you can catch a bus from belfast to dublin, or a train.

Answer 5

THere are no border checks so of course you can! The first answerers dont know what they are talking about!

You have to drive though. I drive through northern Ireland very often and there is definitely no border checks!

Answer 6

There are no borders as stated by others but there are roaming customs checks and if you're stopped you'd better have a visa or you're in trouble.You could just take the chance as it's unlikely you'd be that unlucky but you never know.

I live near the border and I'm surprised the others that do didn't know about the roaming checks.

According to this the fact you have a visa for any European country you should be o.k. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_tr...

Answer 7

some of the answers here are right, just drive down or get a bus or train to the Republic, no checks, and nobody gets asked for ID in ireland unless they are engaged in criminal behaviour

Answer 8

hi you

no you will need a visa for the republic also sorry about that but if you get onto the Irish embassy in the uk they mite give you one or sort you out
