 I have a UK visa, which I took recently to visit London. Can Ireland be included in the trip? Or does a separate visa need to be taken for that visit?

 The general rule is that you would need a separate visa.

 There are however exceptions:

 * One is a waiver for certain nationalities (including citizens of India) if they meet some specific conditions outlined here.

 You need to have entered the UK first and still be before the end of the permission to stay granted on entry to the UK. This should work for you.

 * The other, which applies to nationals of India and China who reside there, is the British-Irish Visa Scheme, described here.

 If your visa has a “BIVS” endorsement, then you can travel to the Republic of Ireland without requiring an additional visa.

 Note that there a specific requirements (like entering the country which delivered the visa first, or the case of single-entry visas), so read the page linked above carefully.

 The fact that you are resident in Singapore excludes the BIVS scheme in your case.

 Finally, for completeness, this only applies to the Republic of Ireland. Northern Ireland is part of the UK and you don’t need an additional visa or a BIVS endorsement to travel there.

 Indian and Chinese nationals (among others) may also visit Ireland under the short stay visa waiver program if they have first entered the UK and obtained leave to enter. Unlike BIVS, which usually is only available to Chinese and Indian resident nationals, this is a unilateral Irish concession available regardless if the UK visa is issued under BIVS.

 Further information

 Availing of British Irish Visa Scheme

 If you are availing of the British Irish Visa Scheme, and have a visa endorsed ‘BIVS’, you must first travel to the country that issued the visa. In other words, if you have an Irish short stay visa and want to also visit the UK for a short stay, you must travel to Ireland first. If you have a British visitor visa and want to also visit Ireland, you must travel to the UK first.

 Single entry visas

 A single entry ‘BIVS’ endorsed visa means a single entry to the CTA. You may travel a number of times between Ireland and the UK on a single journey to the CTA. While you are required to enter the country which issued the visa first, you can leave the CTA from either country.

 Multiple entry visas

 (a) Irish visa scheme
 You will have to enter Ireland first. Once you leave the CTA, the next time you enter the CTA you must arrive in Ireland first. The duration of your stay in Ireland will be decided by the Irish immigration officer and placed on a stamp in your passport. The duration of stay which may be granted is up to 90 days.

 (b) UK visa scheme
 For example, if you have entered the UK or have been granted leave to enter the UK by a UK immigration official (for up to 180 days) using this visa and your intended visit to Ireland ends before your leave to remain in the UK ends, you may be permitted to travel directly to Ireland from a 3rd country without arriving into the UK again.

 The duration of stay in Ireland may be up to 90 days or to the end of the UK permission, whichever is the shorter period. An immigration officer decides how long you can stay in Ireland.

 Important

 An eligible visa (British or Irish) under this programme will only allow you to travel to Ireland to visit for up to 90 days, it does not guarantee entry into Ireland.

 If you enter Ireland through Northern Ireland, (across the land border) you must report to an immigration officer at Burgh Quay registration office, Dublin or if residing outside of the Dublin area to your local Garda Síochána (police) station as soon as possible.

 The maximum permitted stay in Ireland is up to 90 days or to the end of the UK permission, whichever is the shorter period.

 You can visit as many times as you like, within the permitted duration of stay as decided by the Irish immigration officer when you first arrive. Your permitted duration of stay will be stamped on your passport when you first arrive. When you apply for an Irish visa, you will need to demonstrate that Ireland is your primary destination.

	British Irish Visa Scheme
	
	
	  In This Section   Introduction   The British Irish Visa Scheme (BIVS) allows certain people to travel to and around the Common Travel Area (CTA) (Ireland and the United Kingdom – excluding the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands) on a single visa for short stays only.
To avail of this scheme your visa must be endorsed with the letters ‘BIVS’. A Visa officer will consider whether to endorse each eligible visa with ‘BIVS’. There is no appeal against a decision not to endorse a visa with ‘BIVS’.
  Who is eligible      
Chinese nationals who are living in China (including Hong Kong and Macau) at the time of the application
     
Indian nationals who are living in India at the time of the application.
    UK visas eligible under the scheme      Permitted Paid Engagement visas     
All standard visitor categories where the maximum period for a single visit is six months (except ‘visitor in transit’ and ‘visitor for marriage or civil partnership’).
    Irish visas eligible under the scheme                     Further information   Availing of British Irish Visa Scheme   If you are availing of the British Irish Visa Scheme, and have a visa endorsed ‘BIVS’, you must first travel to the country that issued the visa. In other words, if you have an Irish short stay visa and want to also visit the UK for a short stay, you must travel to Ireland first. If you have a British visitor visa and want to also visit Ireland, you must travel to the UK first.
  Single entry visas   A single entry ‘BIVS’ endorsed visa means a single entry to the CTA. You may travel a number of times between Ireland and the UK on a single journey to the CTA. While you are required to enter the country which issued the visa first, you can leave the CTA from either country.
  Multiple entry visas    (a) Irish visa scheme 
You will have to enter Ireland first. Once you leave the CTA, the next time you enter the CTA you must arrive in Ireland first. The duration of your stay in Ireland will be decided by the Irish immigration officer and placed on a stamp in your passport. The duration of stay which may be granted is up to 90 days.
 (b) UK visa scheme 
For example, if you have entered the UK or have been granted leave to enter the UK by a UK immigration official (for up to 180 days) using this visa and your intended visit to Ireland ends before your leave to remain in the UK ends, you may be permitted to travel directly to Ireland from a 3rd country without arriving into the UK again.
The duration of stay in Ireland may be up to 90 days or to the end of the UK permission, whichever is the shorter period. An immigration officer decides how long you can stay in Ireland.
     Important 
An eligible visa (British or Irish) under this programme will only allow you to travel to Ireland to visit for up to 90 days, it does not guarantee entry into Ireland.
If you enter Ireland through Northern Ireland, (across the land border) you must report to an immigration officer at  Burgh Quay registration office, Dublin or if residing outside of the Dublin area to your local  Garda Síochána (police) station  as soon as possible.
The maximum permitted stay in Ireland is up to 90 days or to the end of the UK permission, whichever is the shorter period.
You can visit as many times as you like, within the permitted duration of stay as decided by  the Irish immigration officer when you first arrive. Your permitted duration of stay will be  stamped on your passport when you first arrive. When you apply for an Irish visa, you will  need to demonstrate that Ireland is your primary destination.

See ‘Do I need preclearance’ below.</p><p>If you have a short stay visa for the UK and are an Indian or Chinese citizen, you can travel to Ireland without a visa. See ‘Visa waivers for UK visa holders’ below.</p><h3>Travelling with a refugee travel document</h3><p>If you have a refugee <a href="https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/moving-country/asylum-seekers-and-refugees/refugee-status-and-leave-to-remain/travel-documents-for-refugees/">travel document</a> issued by a country outside Ireland, you must apply for a visa to enter Ireland.

<div> <p>
     </p><h2>Types of visa</h2>
 <p></p></div>
<div><p>The type of visa you need depends on the purpose and length of your stay in Ireland.</p><h3>Short stay visas</h3><p>If you want to come to Ireland for less than 3 months, you should apply for a <a href="https://www.irishimmigration.ie/short-stay-visas-policy/">short stay ‘C’ visa</a>. You should apply for this type of visa if you want to come to Ireland as a tourist or to visit someone, for a business meeting, or to attend a short course.</p><p>You cannot stay for longer than 3 months on a ‘C’ visa. You must leave Ireland and apply for another visa if you want to return.</p><h3>Long stay visas</h3><p>If you want to come to Ireland for more than 3 months, for example to study, for work or to settle permanently in Ireland with family members who live in Ireland, then you can apply for a <a href="https://www.irishimmigration.ie/">long stay ‘D’ visa</a>.</p><p>If you are granted a long stay ‘D’ visa and wish to remain in the State for longer than 3 months you must register and get an Irish Residence Permit (IRP).</p><p>You can read more information about different types of visa available on the <a href="https://www.irishimmigration.ie/">ISD website</a>.</p><h3>Re-entry multiple entry visas</h3><p>The first visa issued to you is valid for a single entry to the State. If you leave Ireland, you must apply for another visa to travel to Ireland again.</p><p>If you have had single entry visas in the past and you have obeyed the conditions of those visas, you can apply for a multiple entry visa. You can also apply if you need to come to Ireland frequently for business. A multiple entry visa allows you to travel to Ireland on more than one occasion during the period that the visa is valid.</p><h4>Re-entry visas for people who live in Ireland</h4><p>If you have a valid Irish Residence Permit (IRP), you no longer need a re-entry visa to re-enter Ireland when traveling abroad. Children under 16 do not get an IRP. They can <a href="https://www.irishimmigration.ie/suspension-of-re-entry-visa-requirements-for-children-under-the-age-of-16-years-2/">return to Ireland without a re-entry visa</a> if they are travelling with parents or guardians. The parents or guardians must have an IRP.</p><h3>Transit visas</h3><p>If you are travelling through Ireland on your way to another country, you may need a <a href="https://www.irishimmigration.ie/at-the-border/transit-including-transfer-visa-advice/">transit visa</a> when arriving in Ireland on their way to another country. A transit visa does not permit you to leave the port or airport. If you are a citizen of one of the following countries, you will need a valid Irish transit visa when landing in the State:</p></div>

          Introduction

        If you are travelling to Ireland and you are not a citizen of the UK, Switzerland, or a country in the European Economic Area (the EU plus Norway, Iceland and Lichtenstein), you may need to apply for a visa.

        An Irish visa is a certificate placed on your passport or travel document that allows you to travel to Ireland. You still have to present your passport and documents to immigration control when you arrive at the airport or port, and an immigration officer may still refuse you entry to Ireland.

        If you are travelling with children, you have to apply for a visa for your children too.

        You may also have to register with immigration authorities.

        Ukrainian citizens

        From 25 February 2022, citizens of Ukraine do not need a visa to travel to Ireland. Read information for people who have arrived in Ireland from Ukraine.

          Do I need a visa?

        You do not need a visa to land in Ireland if you:

          * Are a citizen of the EU or the EEA (the EU plus Iceland, Norway and Lichtenstein) or Switzerland
          * Have a residence card issued by an EEA country or Switzerland because you are the family member of an EEA or Swiss citizen living in a country outside of the EEA/Swiss family member’s home country (for example, you live in Germany with your French spouse)
          * Have a UK short-stay visa and qualify for the short-stay visa waiver or the British-Irish Visa Scheme (see ‘Visa waivers for UK visa holders’ below)
          * Are a school student who lives in an EU/EEA country and you are travelling as part of a school trip (see ‘School Student Visa Waiver’ below)
          * Are a citizen of a country listed in the table below.

          Note Visa free travel also applies to the following types of British nationality:

            * British national (overseas)
            * British overseas territories citizen (previously called ‘British dependent territories citizenship)
            * British overseas citizen

          Visa free travel does not apply to people who have a British passport as a ‘British protected person'.

          If you are moving to Ireland to live with your Irish de facto partner, a spouse or partner who holds a Critical Skills Employment Permit, or your UK spouse or partner, you have to apply for preclearance even if you are from one of the countries listed above (this does not apply to citizens of Switzerland or the UK). See ‘Do I need preclearance’ below.

          If you have a short stay visa for the UK and are an Indian or Chinese citizen, you can travel to Ireland without a visa. See ‘Visa waivers for UK visa holders’ below.

          Travelling with a refugee travel document

          If you have a refugee travel document issued by a country outside Ireland, you must apply for a visa to enter Ireland. Visa free travel for travel document holders is suspended until further notice.

          Family members of EEA/Swiss citizens

          If you are coming to Ireland to join or accompany your EEA family member, you must apply for a visa if you are from a country that is not in the list above. If you are already living in another EEA country or Switzerland because you are the family member of an EEA or Swiss citizen who is exercising their free movement rights, you do not need a visa to travel to Ireland.

          If you plan to stay in Ireland for more than 3 months you must apply for residence after your arrival.

            Types of visa

          The type of visa you need depends on the purpose and length of your stay in Ireland.

          Short stay visas

          If you want to come to Ireland for less than 3 months, you should apply for a short stay ‘C’ visa. You should apply for this type of visa if you want to come to Ireland as a tourist or to visit someone, for a business meeting, or to attend a short course.

          You cannot stay for longer than 3 months on a ‘C’ visa. You must leave Ireland and apply for another visa if you want to return.

          Long stay visas

          If you want to come to Ireland for more than 3 months, for example to study, for work or to settle permanently in Ireland with family members who live in Ireland, then you can apply for a long stay ‘D’ visa.

          If you are granted a long stay ‘D’ visa and wish to remain in the State for longer than 3 months you must register and get an Irish Residence Permit (IRP).

          You can read more information about different types of visa available on the ISD website.

          Re-entry multiple entry visas

          The first visa issued to you is valid for a single entry to the State. If you leave Ireland, you must apply for another visa to travel to Ireland again.

          If you have had single entry visas in the past and you have obeyed the conditions of those visas, you can apply for a multiple entry visa. You can also apply if you need to come to Ireland frequently for business. A multiple entry visa allows you to travel to Ireland on more than one occasion during the period that the visa is valid.

          Re-entry visas for people who live in Ireland

          If you have a valid Irish Residence Permit (IRP), you no longer need a re-entry visa to re-enter Ireland when traveling abroad. Children under 16 do not get an IRP. They can return to Ireland without a re-entry visa if they are travelling with parents or guardians. The parents or guardians must have an IRP.

          Transit visas

          If you are travelling through Ireland on your way to another country, you may need a transit visa when arriving in Ireland on their way to another country. A transit visa does not permit you to leave the port or airport. If you are a citizen of one of the following countries, you will need a valid Irish transit visa when landing in the State:

          Countries that require an Irish transit visa
            Afghanistan                       Ghana    
            Albania                           Honduras 
            Bolivia                           Iran     
            Cuba                              Iraq     
            Democratic Republic of the Congo  Lebanon  
            Dominica                          Moldova  
            Eritrea                           Nigeria  
            Ethiopia                          Somalia  
            Georgia                           Sri Lanka
            Vanuatu                         
            

              Visa waivers for UK visa holders

            The Short Stay Visa Waiver Programme allows nationals of a number of Eastern European, Middle Eastern and Asian countries who have a short-term UK visa, to come to Ireland without the need for a separate Irish visa. The countries included in the scheme are:

              * Bahrain
              * Bosnia and Herzegovina
              * China
              * Colombia
              * India
              * Indonesia
              * Kazakhstan
              * Kosovo
              * Kuwait
              * Montenegro
              * North Macedonia
              * Oman
              * Peru
              * Philippines
              * Qatar
              * Saudi Arabia
              * Serbia
              * Thailand
              * Türkiye
              * Ukraine
              * Uzbekistan
              * Vietnam

            Citizens of India and China, who have a short stay UK visa can travel to Ireland under the British Irish Visa Scheme (BIVS) without a separate Irish visa. You can also use your Irish visa to travel to the UK. Your visa must be endorsed with ‘BIVS’.

              School Student Visa Waiver

            School students who are citizens of a country that would normally need a visa to enter Ireland can apply for a waiver if they live in an EU or EEA country and are travelling as part of a school trip.

            The principal of the school must complete an application form and present this form to immigration upon arrival.

              Do I need preclearance?

            If you do not need a visa to come to Ireland, you may still have to apply for preclearance. Preclearance is permission to enter Ireland to apply to reside for certain reasons. You have to apply for preclearance if you want to come to Ireland:

              * To volunteer
              * As a minister of religion
              * As the de facto partner of a Critical Skills Employment Permit or Hosting Agreement holder
              * As the de facto partner of an Irish citizen
              * As the family member of a UK citizen

            A de facto partnership is when you are in a relationship with someone that is like a marriage.

            You can apply for pre-clearance online. If you are approved, and you intend to stay in Ireland for more than 3 months, you have to register for an Irish Residence Permit after you arrive in Ireland.

              How to apply for a visa orpreclearance

            You must apply for an entry visa or preclearance online.

            There is information on how to complete an online application in English (pdf) as well as in Arabic (pdf), Chinese (pdf), Russian (pdf), Hindi (pdf), French (pdf), Turkish (pdf) and Urdu (pdf).

            You should apply at least 8 weeks before you plan to come to Ireland. Details of the photographic requirements and current processing times are on the ISD website.

            Biometric data: All visa applicants residing in Nigeria must provide biometric data. Applicants residing in Pakistan, India and China must provide fingerprints.

            Appeals: If you are refused a visa you can appeal the decision by writing to the Irish Immigration Service Visa office.

              Rates

            The standard non-refundable visa application processing fees are:

            Entry and re-entry visas

            A single journey visa costs €60 and will be valid for one entry to the State up to a maximum of 90 days from the date of issue.

            A multi journey visa costs €100 and will be valid for multiple entries to the State up to a maximum of 5 years from the date of issue.

            A transit visa costs €25.

Re-entry visas for people who live in Ireland If you have a valid Irish Residence Permit (IRP), you no longer need a re-entry visa to re-enter Ireland when traveling abroad. Children under 16 do not get an IRP. They can return to Ireland without a re-entry visa if they are travelling with parents or guardians. The parents or guardians must have an IRP. Transit visas If you are travelling through Ireland on your way to another country, you may need a transit visa when arriving in Ireland on their way to another country. A transit visa does not permit you to leave the port or airport. If you are a citizen of one of the following countries, you will need a valid Irish transit visa when landing in the State: 
   Countries that require an Irish transit visa 
Afghanistan
Ghana
Albania
Honduras
Bolivia
Iran
Cuba
Iraq
Democratic Republic of the Congo
Lebanon
Dominica
Moldova
Eritrea
Nigeria
Ethiopia
Somalia
Georgia
Sri Lanka
Vanuatu
 
 
      Visa waivers for UK visa holders
   
 The Short Stay Visa Waiver Programme allows nationals of a number of Eastern European, Middle Eastern and Asian countries who have a short-term UK visa, to come to Ireland without the need for a separate Irish visa. The countries included in the scheme are:  Bahrain Bosnia and Herzegovina China Colombia India Indonesia Kazakhstan Kosovo Kuwait Montenegro North Macedonia Oman Peru Philippines Qatar Saudi Arabia Serbia Thailand Türkiye Ukraine Uzbekistan Vietnam  Citizens of India and China, who have a short stay UK visa can travel to Ireland under the British Irish Visa Scheme (BIVS) without a separate Irish visa. You can also use your Irish visa to travel to the UK. Your visa must be endorsed with ‘BIVS’. 
 
      School Student Visa Waiver
   
 School students who are citizens of a country that would normally need a visa to enter Ireland can apply for a waiver if they live in an EU or EEA country and are travelling as part of a school trip. The principal of the school must complete an application form and present this form to immigration upon arrival. 
 
      Do I need preclearance?
   
 If you do not need a visa to come to Ireland, you may still have to apply for preclearance. Preclearance is permission to enter Ireland to apply to reside for certain reasons. You have to apply for preclearance if you want to come to Ireland:  To volunteer  As a minister of religion  As the de facto partner of a Critical Skills Employment Permit or Hosting Agreement holder  As the de facto partner of an Irish citizen  As the family member of a UK citizen   A de facto partnership is when you are in a relationship with someone that is like a marriage. You can apply for pre-clearance online. If you are approved, and you intend to stay in Ireland for more than 3 months, you have to register for an Irish Residence Permit after you arrive in Ireland. 
 
      How to apply for a visa orpreclearance
   
 You must apply for an entry visa or preclearance online. There is information on how to complete an online application in English (pdf) as well as in Arabic (pdf), Chinese (pdf), Russian (pdf), Hindi (pdf), French (pdf), Turkish (pdf) and Urdu (pdf). You should apply at least 8 weeks before you plan to come to Ireland. Details of the photographic requirements and current processing times are on the ISD website.  Biometric data: All visa applicants residing in Nigeria must provide biometric data. Applicants residing in Pakistan, India and China must provide fingerprints.  Appeals: If you are refused a visa you can appeal the decision by writing to the Irish Immigration Service Visa office. 
 
      Rates
   
 The standard non-refundable visa application processing fees are:  Entry and re-entry visas  A single journey visa costs €60 and will be valid for one entry to the State up to a maximum of 90 days from the date of issue. A multi journey visa costs €100 and will be valid for multiple entries to the State up to a maximum of 5 years from the date of issue. A transit visa costs €25.  There may also be communications charges in some cases. Information about these charges, and on the fee in your local currency, is available from your local Irish embassy or consulate. Who does not pay the fee?  Some applicants are not required to pay a fee. This includes visa-required spouses and certain family members of EEA citizens (including Irish nationals) provided that proof of the relationship is provided with the application. In addition, applicants from some countries are not required to pay a fee. As this can change from time to time, you should check with your local Irish embassy or consulate, or with the Visa Office.   
 
      Further information and contacts
   
 Information about visas is available from your nearest Irish embassy or consulate.

 Soon, travel to UK and Ireland on one visa

 If you're planning a trip to the UK, you can soon add Ireland to your itinerary and vice versa. Under a new agreement, a single visa, issued by either country, will allow travellers from India and China to visit both. The new rule also eliminates the need for UK transit visas for those travelling to Ireland.

 From later this month, Ireland will be using the UK's application centres overseas to issue a single visa. The process will first commence for Chinese travellers and later for Indians.

 The British-Irish Visa Scheme is applicable on select Irish short-stay visas and UK visitor visas. In case of the UK, visas for visitors in transit and visitors for marriage or civil partnership are not included.

 Note: As per the official website of the UK government, “The visa holder must first travel to the country that issued the visa. For example, if you have an Irish visa and want to also visit the UK, you must travel to Ireland first.”

IRELAND VISIT VISA
2022-01-01
None
<div><div>
	<p>The granting of an Irish visa is, in effect, only a form of pre-entry clearance. It does not grant permission to enter Ireland and Immigration Officers have the authority to grant or deny admission. Visa holders are subject to normal immigration control at the point of entry and should always carry with them the originals or copies of the documents submitted with their visa applications for possible inspection by Immigration Officers.</p>
<p>Furthermore, a visa does not grant permission to remain in Ireland. The date of validity shown on the visa indicates only the date before which it must be presented to an Immigration Officer. The length of stay is decided by an Immigration Officer at the port of entry.</p>
<p>A visa holder who remains in Ireland longer than the permitted period and/or who submits false or misleading information in support of his/her application may become liable for prosecution and/or subject to deportation.</p>
<p>The granting of a visa is not a mere formality. As a result, the Embassy will not be held responsible for any cancelled or unused travel tickets in the event of a visa application not being processed by an applicant's intended date of travel or where an application has been rejected by the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform. As a result, we advise all visa applicants NOT to purchase or book travel tickets until their visa application has been approved, issued and received.</p>

 IRELAND VISIT VISA

 The granting of an Irish visa is, in effect, only a form of pre-entry clearance. It does not grant permission to enter Ireland and Immigration Officers have the authority to grant or deny admission. Visa holders are subject to normal immigration control at the point of entry and should always carry with them the originals or copies of the documents submitted with their visa applications for possible inspection by Immigration Officers.

 Furthermore, a visa does not grant permission to remain in Ireland. The date of validity shown on the visa indicates only the date before which it must be presented to an Immigration Officer. The length of stay is decided by an Immigration Officer at the port of entry.

 A visa holder who remains in Ireland longer than the permitted period and/or who submits false or misleading information in support of his/her application may become liable for prosecution and/or subject to deportation.

 The granting of a visa is not a mere formality. As a result, the Embassy will not be held responsible for any cancelled or unused travel tickets in the event of a visa application not being processed by an applicant's intended date of travel or where an application has been rejected by the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform. As a result, we advise all visa applicants NOT to purchase or book travel tickets until their visa application has been approved, issued and received.

Expression Your expression should be neutral with both eyes open and mouth closed. There should be no hair covering your eyes. Contrived expressions such as raised eyebrows, squinting or frowning are not acceptable.

 Visa Information For Foreigners

 * The Electronic Visa (e-Visa) Application System was launched on 17 April 2013 by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Türkiye. This system allows visitors travelling to Türkiye to easily obtain their e-Visas online (www.evisa.gov.tr), in approximately three minutes.

 It is possible to obtain e-Visa 7/24 at everywhere with internet connection. The applicants can obtain their visa after they fill in the necessary information concerning their identity, passport and travel dates and pay visa fee online.

 * Please note that e-visa is only valid when the purpose of travel is tourism or commerce. For other purposes, such as work and study, visas are given by Turkish Embassies or Consulates.

 * The term "official passports" covers diplomatic, service, special and official passports.

 You are kindly advised to have a travel document/passport valid for at least 6 months as from the date of your arrival in Türkiye.

 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs continues efforts to strengthen the e-Visa system and to better enable foreign nationals to easily obtain their visas.

 In this context,

 Brexit: What are your rights with an Irish passport?

 Irish passport holders will retain EU travel benefits after Brexit

 At least 700,000 people born in Northern Ireland now hold an Irish passport.

 About 200,000 of those made their first application after the Brexit referendum.

 That number only accounts for those who have made new applications or renewed their passports in the last 10 years - the total figure could be higher.

 With Brexit approaching on Friday, will people with Irish passports retain more rights than those with British passports living in Northern Ireland?

 What about other EU citizens living in Northern Ireland - how will their lives be affected?

 On a visit to Belfast on Monday, the European Union's chief negotiator Michel Barnier said: "Whilst Northern Ireland will no longer be part of the EU, people born and raised here that choose to be Irish citizens will still be EU citizens.

 "This means they can continue to move and reside freely within the EU. The UK has committed to upholding their rights.

 "They cannot be discriminated against on the basis of nationality."

 * EU-Irish solidarity 'will not diminish'

 So what happens to people living in Northern Ireland who have British passports?

 The truth is no one can say with complete certainty.

 Next week, we'll enter the transition phase where the rights of British and Irish passport holders won't change until 31 December when the negotiations are due to end.

 This time next year, things could be different.

 Colin Harvey, a Professor of Human Rights Law at Queen's University, Belfast, said there are many issues that need to be addressed.

 "The worry is that many British and Irish citizens around these islands take certain rights for granted and maybe those rights are written in sand."

 Prof Harvey, who is in favour of holding a border poll in 2023, says even the Common Travel Area, which guarantees free movement for British and Irish citizens in both countries, is not backed by legislation, even though British and Irish ministers signed a deal to preserve it last May.

 "At the moment they are rather informal and rather ad hoc," he said.

 "They are there, but they need to be more secure and legally underpinned."

 Travel for NI citizens in EU

 What about travel? At the minute the EHIC card (the new name for the E1-11) still gives people in Northern Ireland access to healthcare while travelling in other EU countries.

 Again, that will remain the same while the negotiations continue.

 But Prof Harvey points out it is not future-proofed.

 "It's interesting to note that last year the Irish government made a proposal that it was willing to underwrite and fund, if you like, all of the people of Northern Ireland so it will be very interesting to see how that conversation advances in the year ahead."

 The Common Travel Area is supposed to protect the rights of British and Irish passport holders, but what does Brexit mean for other passport holders already living and working in Northern Ireland, and in particular, for those who commute across the border?

 Commuting across the border

 Les Allamby, chief commissioner at the NI Human Rights Commission, said: "Those who are not Irish but live in Donegal and work in Altnagelvin Hospital are called frontier workers.

 "It's not clear how those people will be affected by the new arrangements and we know there are significant numbers of people working in hospitals in other forms of care, for example, who live in the south but work in Northern Ireland.

 "Those people will have to watch very carefully to see what arrangements are put in place because we don't know at this stage how they will be affected by the UK leaving the EU completely after the transition period."

 Employment equality

 Other rights around equality in employment are enshrined in the 1998 Good Friday Agreement - which is further guaranteed in the Government's EU withdrawal agreement.

 Mr Allamby says this will further protect all citizens in Northern Ireland.

 "We will retain some rights that we won't necessarily retain elsewhere because of the Good Friday Agreement," he said.

 "That illustrates the value of the agreement at a time when no one who signed it would have thought about these ramifications 22 or 23 years later."

 What happens to things like mobile phone roaming charges will depend on what is agreed about the UK's future economic relationship with the EU, which could include limits or the reintroduction of mobile roaming charges.

 So will an Irish passport bring benefits that British passport holders won't enjoy?

 Possibly, according to Mr Allamby.

 "This summer you'll be able to travel freely with a British or Irish passport but once we get to the phase of completely leaving the EU, an Irish passport may become more advantageous for travel, possibly to access education and other services."
