IRISH PASSPORT BENEFITS
IRISH PASSPORT BENEFITS
The Irish Passport is one of the most desirable European Union passports after Brexit. It allows you to live in and travel freely to the UK, as well as to all 27 EU countries, 3 EEA countries, and Switzerland.
BENEFITS
You can travel visa-free or with eVisa/Visa on Arrival to 187 countries around the world. This gives you more flexibility and convenience when planning your trips.
You can also avoid long queues at immigration checkpoints within the EU, as the Irish passport grants access to eGates. eGates are the European Union’s electronic immigration control. Instead of talking to a person, you simply scan your passport, have a quick photo taken, then you’re on your way!
You can live and work in the United Kingdom without any visa restrictions. You can also use public services such as health care, education, social security, and pensions on the same basis as citizens of either country.
You can apply for a passport card which makes it more convenient to travel within the European Union. If you’re living in the EU, you can fly with a passport card that can be conveniently kept in a wallet rather than needing to remember and keep track of a physical passport.
