🇮🇪 UK Travel for Irish Citizens

Great news! Irish citizens have special privileges for UK travel.

✓ No ETA or Visa Needed!

Irish citizens do NOT need an ETA, visa, or any travel authorisation to visit the UK. The Common Travel Area (CTA) agreement allows free movement between Ireland and the UK.

Simply travel with your Irish passport or acceptable ID.

🤝 Common Travel Area

The CTA is a special arrangement between Ireland and the UK that predates EU membership. It remains in effect after Brexit and allows Irish and British citizens to:

  • Travel freely between countries
  • Work without permits
  • Access public services
  • Vote in certain elections
