What if I am traveling to the UK?mentalmind wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 1:53 amNo you can’t. You might (maybe) enter into Ireland but airline company won’t let you board on the plane without IRP card.
Yes, I have a stamp 2. It does have a permitted to remain until date which is in September of this year. I am traveling to the UK, which is in the common travel area. Yes, I am a U.S. national.meself2 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 11:42 amYou need to show the carrier (i.e. airline/ferry/etc) that you are able to live in Ireland before they let you go on your way to the country. They were taught that IRP is the document that allows it for foreign nationals.
What kind of stamp you have? Is it permitted to remain until "date"?
Are you a US national?
You can try and apply for re-entry visa, but they will most likely say to you that you need to wait and get your IRP card.
The CTA in this case doesn't play a role here, as far as I know. You're going between two different countries and that's it. You're neither Irish nor UK national to benefit from CTA arrangements.frequentwaters wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 11:56 amYes, I have a stamp 2.

They should ask for some kind of reason to stay in Ireland when you come up to the registration desk. Went from UK to Ireland w/ Ryanair as well, it said on the ticket to come to the check-in desk and show your visa, gave them both IRP and passport (had a re-entry visa, at the time they were needed), it was checked and ticket stamped.mentalmind wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 12:07 pmI travelled from UK to Ireland by plane but don't actually remember if they checked my IRP card or not while boarding (it was Ryanair).
That could be, but since this person is a US citizen, he can go to Ireland for 3 months without a visa anyway, so unlikely. It's a risk nevertheless.mentalmind wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 12:07 pmYou can try your chance also by risking but if they don't let you board to the plane what are you planning to do?
There is no misinformation in this thread, you didn’t mentioned that you are US citizen and US passport holder at your question. US nationals doesn’t need visa to enter Schengen countries and UK and Ireland up to limited time, that’s why you are not asked to show your IRP card by airlines. Because you can stay in these countries without visa they don’t care about you having IRP card or not. But Irish border will ask for your IRP card, which you already mentioned.frequentwaters wrote: ↑Sun May 22, 2022 2:05 amJust wanted to update people so no misinformation spreads around because I feel like I was given the wrong information on this forum. If you have a US passport, you do not need your IRP to travel to countries in Europe due to having a Schengen visa. I was never asked before boarding the plane to show my IRP card, they only needed my passport. The same for the UK, you can go to the UK freely with just your passport. You will be able to board the plane without your IRP card. You only need your IRP when returning to Ireland for passport control.
