Big changes are afoot for travel between Ireland and the UK. From February 25th, Irish citizens must present a valid Irish passport or passport card when flying internationally. The UKs new Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system is now in effect, but Irish citizens are exempt and can prove this with their passport. The ETA, costing £16 (soon to rise to £20), is a digital approval for travel to the UK, Channel Islands, or Isle of Man. It lasts two years, covers multiple trips, and allows stays of up to six months per visit. Kids under sixteen from Ireland or the UK will need a passport or card for international flights starting February 25th, 2026. Airside transits at spots like Heathrow or Manchester currently bypass the ETA.
