honda99 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Hi, My wife has recently got a EU family permit for the uk, she will fly alone from bangkok to birmingham where i will meet her at the airport, we plan to stay in birmingham for a day or 2 before we will go to Northern Ireland where we plan to live, as Dublin airport is only a few hours from where we plan to live will she be able to fly with me from birmingham to Dublin airport and travel by road to northern ireland with her EU family permit for the uk? will there be problems with immigration when she tries to enter the republic? will the airline leave her board the plane? Any help from anybody in the know would be appreciated By the way i am an Irish citizen Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then things may have changed a bit since the 70sSent from my SM-J250F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Honda is a British citizen (or any other EU nationality except Irish), the Irish will be issued for free under an accelerated procedure with minimum paperwork.

I always thought that travellers are not required to pass though immigration control within the CTA (Common Travel Area) but I know now I was wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
