Ireland/Britain Routes Irish Ferries recommend all passengers bring a passport with them. Irish and British citizens do not strictly require a passport to travel between the two countries - some form of identification is however required. Photo ID, Bank Cards or bills for house utilities addressed to you are all acceptable and useful means of identification. Please note that all nationalities except Irish or British require passports. Non-EU nationals should check with the British or Irish embassy before travelling as they may also need a visa. Passengers who turn up at our ports without valid documentation may not be allowed to enter either Ireland or Britain. Ireland/France Routes It is compulsory for all passengers including babies to bring a valid passport or officially recognised European Union I.D. card with them when travelling to and from France or Ireland. In some cases a visa may also be required. It is the responsibility of each passenger, parent, guardian or group leader to ensure that the documentation is readily available for inspection at check-in. Irish Ferries accept no responsibility in this regard. The onus is on the passenger to ensure that the documentation is correct. Non-EU nationals should check with the French Embassy or with the Irish Embassy before travelling as they may need a visa as well as a passport. A visa can take several weeks to obtain so please make the necessary arrangements well ahead of your travel date. Passengers who turn up at our ports without a valid passport or an officially recognised European Union ID card (and visa if required) may not be allowed to enter France or Ireland. Drivers of vehicles must carry and be able to produce a valid driving licence, failure to do so may prevent entry into Ireland or France. If passengers are refused entry to either country by the immigration authorities they may be liable for all repatriation and any additional ferry travel expenses caused by the lack of correct travel documentation.
