Travel to Britain
From Monday September 28, passports will be required for ferry passengers travelling between Ireland and Wales. For non irish passport holders, the new ETA for Britain costs #20 and lasts two years, the ETIAS for Europe cost €20 and lasts three years.
The Department recently updated advice on the introduction of England’s ETA: The new Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) for people travelling to, or transiting through Britain, the Channel Islands, or the Isle of Man from outside the Common Travel Area. Irish citizens, including Irish dual citizens, do not need and therefore are ineligible to apply for an ETA. Under entry requirements, you must present a valid Irish passport at border control to demonstrate that you are exempt from the ETA requirement.
You are advised to check your passport validity, and where necessary, apply for an Irish passport, well in advance of any travel. Where travel is required owing to an emergency, Irish citizens, including Irish dual citizens, who are not in possession of a valid Irish passport can contact your nearest Embassy or Consulate for advice.
Further information on the ETA is available at Get an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) to visit the Overview – GOV.UK
There is no change to entry requirements for travellers coming to Ireland without transiting through the London.
