Other passports

UK citizens do not require a passport or visa to enter Ireland, but most carriers by air or sea now require some form of identification with photograph (usually either a passport or driving licence with photo). Visitors are advised to check what form of ID is required with the individual airline, ferry company, tour operator or travel agent before travelling.
 Non UK nationals must have a valid passport or national identity card as appropriate.
 Citizens living within the EU and most other Western countries including Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa do not require visas.
All other countries should contact their local Irish Embassy/Consulate prior to travelling to the Republic of Ireland, and visitors to Northern Ireland should contact their local British Embassy/High Commission or Consular Office http://ukinnewzealand.fco.gov.uk/en/ .
