Can you travel to RoI without a passport?

This is great as I can pick up a direct Air Lingus flight nearby without needing to schlep up to Stranraer to cross over. Cheers.

Check their requirements: while there is no government requirement, airlines make their own rules.

I've heard of 2 people recently who applied online for a passport renewal and had their new passport back within a week.

Éire is Ireland (all of it) and not the 26-County state.

But if Ireland becomes an eu state - will that affect things?

Or is that what the whole backstop thing is about?

Really hope you didn't vote.

They really shouldn’t confuse things by having Eire written on stamps and coins. I know there’s supposed to be a fada on the E, but, you know.

I don't think that's "confusion"... they claim the entire island, after all... I think that would be more accurately characterised "intent".

Not any more. Articles 2 and 3 are gone a long time. They had a referendum on it the same time as us.

The coins are the official name of the country in the native language and similar to the pre euro design with it being a republic (not a monarchy). I think I have some saorstat eireann coins and stamps about.



The stamps cover all of the island of Ireland so buying a stamp in dublin to post to letterkenny or belfast is the same.




IIRC the UK is the only country not to put its name on stamps?

The same applies to stamps from any other state. I’ve just got a letter from Germany this morning. Those Deutschebundespost stamps seem to have been enough to get them from point of entry to my door.

You can’t post from here across the border with An Post stamps.
