Hi all, I wish to take my wife to Ireland with me later this year for a Holiday.
She is currently in the UK on her FLR Visa. What else do I need to get Visa wise to take her, and how do I go about doing it.

Many thanks.

it is in the 'Common Travel Area' so there should not be a passport control.

but I might be wrong :Erm:

Heres more details allthough do check up with the irish authorities just to be sure

Quickly reading though i found this passage

Until 1997, there was free movement for all nationalities within the area. The Aliens (Amendment) (No. 3) Order, 1997 order empowers Irish immigration officers to carry out immigration checks on persons who are not Irish or British citizens arriving from the UK and to refuse such persons leave to land on the same grounds as apply if they arrive from outside the common travel area.

I have heard of many poping over the northern irish border with no probs but if you did get stoped you may have problems depending on the guards.
