Wife and Stepson - Visit to Southern Ireland

[Iani]

I have friends there, I'm sure I know what you're thinking - it crossed my mind immediately too, however it's all great until for one of those once in a blue moon events you're stopped by the police and they actually ask for identification.

Yes it just never happens unless you commit a crime, but..........imagine if it did. Worth the risk?

Totally agree.

Cannot for the life of me think of reasons not to secure the needed visa.

It's free.

It's a formality. (Can't really be refused under EU regs.)
