As a US citizen, if I fly to Ireland, will I also need my passport stamped as I visit Wales & England? |
Travel Info Sorry for not knowing. I can't keep the terms straight such as the differences between Great Britain and the United Kingdom, etc. If you could clarify that for me, too, I'd be most appreciative :> Also, I've never traveled internationally, so I've never used a passport. Travel Tips If you travel to the UK after beingin Ireland you need to carry your passport with you but normally it will not be asked for when you enter the UK. There are no border formalities between the UK and the Irish Republic, and usually planes incoming from the Republic unload at the internal flight bay. I flew in from Dublin two weeks ago, we deplaned into a caoch which took us to an entrance behind the imigration desks directly infron to the baggage carousel -- thus noone on that plane saw a UK immigration officer or had to show their passport. Sometimes though, it may be that that passengers are sent through the usual channels. (The UK and Great Britain basically means the same - similar to US and America- the legal entity is 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) Others yes you need Certainly do If you fly to the replublic of Ireland then travel to the United kingdom (northen ireland, England, wales and scotland) then you will need your passport and get it stamped. However moving between Wales, England, Scotland and Northen Ireland you don't need your passport. Our passports are entitled The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. As for stamps on passports for US citizens, I'm afraid that I cannot help you. If I were you I would look on the websites of the respective embassies, they usually have very helpful and straightforward advice! Happy travelling and welcome to the UK when you do arrive! Great Britain = England + Wales + Scotland United Kingdom = Great Britain + Northern Ireland. Ireland is a separate country from the United Kingdom. While Irish and UK citizens can freely travel between each country without a passport, US citizens are still required to go through passport control. (So the answers is yes, you will get a stamp in your passport). Relax, you will really enjoy your trip, Ireland and UK are very friendly. Good luck. It depends where in Ireland yu are going to. If you are travelling to northern ireland then you won't need to have your passport stamped twice as this is part of UK.If you are travelling to the republic of ireland then you will need it stamped again as this is not in UK. UK is just short for the united kingdom of Great britain, which is 4 countries, england, wales, scotland and northern ireland. All 4 of which are seperate countries in their own right and have their own flags, national anthems etc. together they have a flag too. the union jack. don't worry, we don't bite. if you have any problems in airport then the staff will tell you where you need to go and what you need stamping on your passport. Have a great time on your vacation and i apologise now for our weather! |
