No there is no border control or visa check when you are leaving ireland.Is there any border control checks(passport checks for visa purpose) upon leaving dublin for an internation flight??
Yes you would be considered a transit passenger and you should not hold a transit visa for UK because u r just passing, ur luggage would be booked for final destination and you can hold a hand carry with you only.are we considered a transit passenger when we land at heathrow waiting to board the connecting flight??
You would be passed by security check but no through a proper immigration check, There is one possibility which border control is using now a days, that in the departure lounge some times the immigration people comes in and randomly select couple of people and check their passports/money and few questions, but it depends, it always doesn't happen.And if we are transit passenger,do we go through immigration checks/border control??

so ask you friend to be very much carefull while traveling
hmm..well he is a non visa required national,so does that mean they check at dublin if the passenger has a transit visa or not .Or is it at heathrow they check all this?archigabe wrote:Some visa required nationals need to have a visit visa even if they are just transiting Heathrow, so it's in your interest to have the appropriate visa.
If he does not require a visa or indeed a transit visa he as nothing to worry about.aniya wrote:f2k wrote:

well he got a BNO passport which does not require visa (visa free access for6 months)
so will dublin airport still have problems...?
KLM or luftansa flies to hongkong from dublin too..and BNO passport does not require a visa..so will that be a better option?
