u will need a passport for ryanair,and to get through passport control.

If all else fails - is the ferry an option - plenty of availability just the logistics of training on the other side to worry about.

I know someone who this happened to on a Sunday. She was able to change the flight to Monday afternoon.
They then went to the Passport office in Dublin, where they explained the situation and were given a temporary passport on Monday morning, and flew out Monday afternoon.

So look into getting a new flight from Dublin maybe? And then going to the passport office on molesworth street in the morning.

I cant remember the airline they were flying with, but im certain the most difficult airline will be ryanair.

How long ago was this? A new emergency passport regime came in a few months ago and unless you're flying for a genuine emergency the fastest turnaround is three days.

Every Irish person has to show their passport with their ticket when boarding a flight from Ireland.

No they don't. The UK and Ireland share a common travel area. ID is required but the different airlines have different rules about what they accept. Aer Lingus do not require a passport, Ryanair do.

Sorry was answering a posters question in another thread who is flying with Ryanair and misplaced their passport. Somehow we're not in that thread anymore.

Mod moved it into this thread. Regardless, it's Ryanair who require the passport between Ireland and the UK, not security or immigration.

Eeek, just reading this thread and starting to freak out. I applied for my first Irish passport (recently Nautralised Irish ) on Thursday with passport express, thinking it was 10days, only to read it is actually 15 days.

I have a course in Birmingham that I fly out for on Sun 29th June. I was meant to go to the Dublin course, but that sold out which meant a last minute change to Birmingham and hence having to get the passport. 15 days brings me up to Thurs 26th, only giving 1 days leeway. I also had to send in my Australian passport so I have nothing at the moment. I guess if it isn't looking good I will be able to call them to get it expedited?

If you're flying Aer Lingus you don't need a passport

Hi,

Will be landing back in the country in early July with my passport due to expire around the middle of the month so renewal will be a priority for me.

As I may find myself having to fly out again at short notice (I won't bore folks with details), you can imagine my elation when I discovered the new passport appointments service "for those travelling at short notice (within 3-10 working days)".

Lo & behold when I go looking to book an appointment online at passportappointments.ie, listing my departure date as 16th July, a warning message appears stating "The average turnaround time if you apply via appointment is 15 days. The average turnaround time if you apply through passport express is 10 days."

So, the moral of this quirky story would appear to be, if you need a passport in a hurry don't apply via the fast-track system. Things would appear to be somewhat arseways currently on that.

Anyone have any guideline on how things are moving with passport appointments of late?

That's good to know - I'm flying Aer Lingus regional as I presume it applies to them as well? What about coming back into Ireland - I presume I just join the Irish/EU queue and show my drivers license and hope no one speaks to me to notice the accent? Just that if they do, I'll have nothing on me to prove / show that I am a Naturalised Irish citizen.

What would be the best time to try and call the passport office today? Tried several times this morning but I just got a message saying they were too busy to take calls.

My friend was born in England and both his parents are English however he moved to Ireland as a child (aged 2) and has lived here ever since for the last 25+ years. He is married to an Irish girl and their children were born in Ireland and are Irish citizens.

My friend has never gone outside Ireland or the UK in his life but is now thinking of going to Spain this summer with his wife for a week. He is entitled to a British Passport through both his parents being British but we have also being wondering if he is entitled to an Irish passport due to having spent so long and he is effectively "Irish" as far as I'm concerned. He does not have Irish ancestry, would he have to get naturalized to get an Irish passport I wonder?

And also if anyone can advise of how he can get naturalized? As this would probably be a lengthy convoluted process he will need to get his British Passport sooner and ideally wants to hold dual nationality. Has anyone here experience of applying for a British Passport and can it be done through the British Embassy in Dublin and what will he need or have to go for interview?

Would the documents dating back to his childhood be required if he was being naturalised through his Irish born wife?

Gatica

If he was trying to get naturalisation through an Irish spouse, for all intents and purposes his application would be the same as if he didn't have an Irish spouse, just the length of time he'd have been living in Ireland can be shorter - not any difference to him if he's been living here since 2.
He would need proof of residence in Ireland for each one of those reconable years (not from age 2), plus all the rest of the documents anyone applying would need to submit. The cost is around 950, plus the application fee of 175.
It's a long and costly process and the only difference to being Irish vs British would be referendums and certain elections. However, if he's really interested in being Irish and have all the other voting rights, then he'll just have to pay and do all the paperwork same as anyone else...

Stinicker

We've being talking about it today and he won't be going down the naturalisation road now as it is just too expensive. He will instead get a British Passport from the Embassy instead. Thanks for the info chaps!
