[deckard97f]

My wife is on a settlement visa, can she enter Eire or does she need a Schengen visa?

Any ideas

As Eire is the :irish: Gaelic name for the Republic of Ireland ... and thus, no longer part of the United Kingdom ... I should IMAGINE so, though cannot be absolutely certain. Others might be able to tell you for definite, however.

"To be sure, to be sure", I would phone the Embassy and try to get some sense out of them directly, as I can't find anything by googling.:doh

Please share your findings, as I was thinking of taking Jet to the Emerald Isle myself in future, or as soon as I get my Consulate to release my new passport....:furious3:

To legally enter Eire she needs a visa. I believe it needs to be issued by the Irish government as they are not part of the schengen travel zone.

To legally enter Eire she needs a *visa. I believe it needs to be *issued by the Irish government as they are not part of the schengen travel zone.

For the record ... HOW much does *THAT cost? :cwm24: ... since there's [usually] a price to be paid!

As above,, Eire is not part of Schengen. My wife has Schengen Residencia thus can travel to any Schengen country, she cannot go to UK, Gibraltar nor Eire

However, although UK is a 'pain the butt' when I called the Irish (southern) Government I was told as I am British we can make the application in the post and again because I am British my wife's visa would be free. Not 100 euros for a one entry to UK or 150 euros for Gib.

These are Schengen Countries:

Austria Belgium Czech Republic Denmark
Estonia Finland France Germany
Greece Hungary Iceland Italy

I REPEAT THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE EIRE

Yes, NORTHERN Ireland is part of the UK. But Eire is NOT! :NoNo: It is the Irish Gaelic term for the *REPUBLIC of Ireland ... which is a *SEPARATE country ... as I specifically stipulated earlier in my initial response to Deck's query, and John Carr has also since reiterated!

I would not recommend anyone breaking the law, especially when it maybe obtaining the visa can be done in the post and its free. If you break the law, first you could be in trouble this time and any other applications for visa to anywhere may prove harder o obtain.

Why don't don't you call the Irish Consulate and ask?

having been a frequent traveller to ireland for fishing my first filipina wife used to come we would travel across the border quite reguarly only ever being stopped once and they was not interested that my wife only had a philippine passport :Erm::icon_lol:

BUT AS EVERYONE SAYS SHOULD HAVE A VISA :doh:doh

[Tiggers0608]

If your wife have a UK spouse visa, she can enter north ireland but not ireland, but some people just go there without visa :doh

But just make sure that u got a visa b4 visiting ireland as they said their strict now (but not sure anyways) :xxgrinning--00xx3:

good luck, just phone their embassy :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[mike1]

Yes,legally she needs a visa ,you can fly via Belfast -which is uk- and drive in to the republic ,no border control for the past few years,but its not worth it as the visa is easy enough to get , cost nothing and can be applied for through the postal system , we just got one recently :xxgrinning--00xx3:
