英国(United Kingdom) 前往 爱尔兰(Ireland) 签证要求

British citizens do NOT need a visa, ETIAS, EES registration, or any prior authorisation to visit Ireland. Travel is governed by the Common Travel Area (CTA), which lets British and Irish citizens move, live, work and study freely between the two countries with no time limit. Ireland is not in the Schengen Area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule, EES and ETIAS do not apply. Carry a valid passport, as airlines and ferries generally require ID. A United Kingdom ordinary-passport holder enjoys visa-free, permission-free entry to Ireland under the Common Travel Area (CTA), a bilateral arrangement that predates EU membership and survives Brexit. British citizens may enter, reside, work, study and access services in Ireland without a visa, prior permission, residence permit or employment permit, with no fixed limit on length of stay for a tourist or short visit. Ireland is a member of the EU but NOT of the Schengen Area; therefore the Schengen 90/180-day short-stay rule does not apply, and Ireland is not affected by Schengen's Entry/Exit System (EES). ETIAS applies to travel to the listed European countries requiring ETIAS and does not apply to entry into Ireland. There is no general legal requirement for British citizens to show a passport to enter Ireland, but airlines and ferry operators routinely require photo ID and often treat a passport as the only acceptable ID; Irish immigration officers may also ask a traveller to prove British nationality. The UK and Ireland reaffirmed the CTA in a May 2019 Memorandum of Understanding, committing to maintain it in all circumstances. Bottom line: no visa, no ETIAS, no EES registration, no fee, no application — carry a passport anyway.
