Those are just the Non-EU desks. There are far more desks to the right, but out of camera shot, those handle most of the people going through the airport, I.e. EU/EEA/CH/UK. Generally the wait time for the Non-EU desks is not longer than about 20 minutes.
As previously stated, an Irish visa invitation letter should be written by whichever friend(s) or family member(s) you will plan to stay with in Ireland. You will not have to include an invitation letter with your visa application if you don't plan to stay with any friends or family members during your trip.
@@mohammedali-rh7cq It's not so much the visa and more of whether you can prove that you'll leave the country or won't be overstaying to work there - in most cases, a return ticket or proof of capability to support yourself during the stay (credit card and bank statements or sufficient cash) will do. If she had shown her return ticket upfront, she likely won't run into that issue. A letter of invitation is also a means of proving that your stay is supported by the issuer.
its part of the visa requirments for visitors to that country as well as others in the UK if your being sponsered ie looked after by someone rather than you visiting on your own , coming to see family means you need less money and no hotel bookings etc so you need to be invited
Same thing with my hand luggage having to be put in the hold along with my passport happened to me in Malta once, when I explained the situation to the guys at the border they escorted me to the baggage carousel and said to wait a minute Nd someone will come to check my passport, after about 20 minutes no one had come and everyone else and their baggage had gone so I just walked out, couldn't believe it 😅
The exact same thing happened to me in the philippines! The border guards when i was leaving were confused and i had to explain the story as to why i never had an entry stamp.
I like that their breathalyzers test for hard drugs in their system. It keeps the other drivers safer. I wish we had that here in America. They just test for alcohol.
if you feel safe with irish Police you are mental......they are corrupt as any force in the world. Probably worse.....and are years behind most forces....
A bit of misinformation. The UK and Ireland have arrangements that pre-date the EU. Ireland treats British citizens like its own citizens, much like the UK treats Irish citizens the way it treats its own citizens. Citizens of EEA member states are treated differently. This is similar to arrangements in the Nordic countries.
I suspect you live in the world of privilege where people do not assume because of your nationality that you are coming to their country to work while on a tourist visa. Anyone travelling from certain countries in Africa, South America or Philippines would usually be smart enough to know that if you are coming for a long stay with a relative who has resident status or citizenship then you carry a letter of invitation with their details and proof of your return ticket. However I still feel the guys attitude was still not that good..

That might have something to do with 9-11. Before 9-11, when I traveled to Canada, the immigration officers would be jovial with me. After....nope...100% serious.

In all the 21 years that I’ve been coming home on an Irish passport to Ireland from the U.K. via Holyhead and even now even more so now since Covid and since Brexit, I find it incredible that there are still not as many security and immigration checks at Dublin Port in both directions as there would be at Dublin Airport and at other airports
They mix CTA and non-CTA passengers at the airport, so that's their excuse for checking everybody (9:10). Dublin Port only has intra-CTA ferries so they can't pull that.
@@straightpipediesel The CTA only applies to Irish citizens and British subjects but the ferries can and will carry people who are neither so your explanation regarding intra CTA ferries does not hold water and totally omits ferries coming from the continent.
I've been stopped twice for "random" security checks on a motorbike. They asked me to open the back box. I asked if I needed to show them the contents or look within bags. They said no. Another time asked me just to open the tank bag. Too easy

I can't help but feel that the passenger who had his hand luggage taken off of him and put in the hold was overly criticised by the immigration official. In fairness to him, he did have his travel documents with him and his only fault was cooperating by handing over his bag and momentarily forgetting that his passport was inside. The way that airports work is that you go through immigration and then baggage claim and then customs. As trying to get into your seat in an aircraft and having a CA have your bag taken off and put in the hold, it is easy to forget to take out your passport and anything else you may need at immigration. Intentionally not arriving at an international airport without any documents is 'crazy' as he put it, but this man evidently DID have them and therefore NOT crazy.
I think everyone should have a passport for international travel and some kind of ID for domestic travel. It’s for safety for all passengers! I never travel without a passport for international flights and always bring an I.D. for domestic.
Sometimes one can also need a passport for Domestic flights. They had an issue with this in Australia awhile back. (Maybe sorted now ?). Some people were boarding a plane in Sydney and flying to Perth (literally thousands of miles away, the far side of the Australian continent, about 5+ hours flight time). Although they had normal domestic id on them, like a Sydney/NSW driver's licence, because it was an "international" flight, as it was after a stopover in Perth Australia, going on to Singapore or somewhere, passengers had to have valid passports, even for just the domestic portion of the flight.
In the US, you are not allowed to board an airliner without official identification documents on your person. Domestic or international. I am surprised that the airline allowed this passenger to board. In the US, the airline could lose its license to operate.

@I tend to visit Spain (Canary Islands) for holidays and because the UK doesn't have I.D. cards, (like all other British nationals) I've had the only option of using my passport to cross EU borders. It always seemed to get me better treatment than EU citizens, travelling only with I.D. cards. Up until summer 2023 that's been the case, despite the 'banner headlines' BRITISH PASSPORT on the document now. . .
The lrish border control are incredibly rude and unfriendly. Last time l visited (to give Gardi teaining course in Krav Maga) l swore l would never return...that was 12 years ago; l've kept my promise.
I've never been to Ireland, but based on what we see in these videos, yes, a lot of them are surly and rude. Not polite at all. They can do their jobs without being rude to virtually everyone they meet. That Mick guy in this episode is an embarassment to the force.
The rudest man I ever had was at LAX, and this was way before 9/11. I was with my young son and he accused me of stealing him from his father, we were only there for Disneyland etc and had a return ticket. Plus I had to get my son’s father’s approval to get him a passport from Australia in the first place. My sister had her children and had no issue. I worked for the police here at the time 😂
One thing we don’t have to worry about in Australia is people driving their cars over here 😂. We also don’t need to have our cars issued with a Roadworthy Certificate every year in Victoria, only when a car is sold or bought. It cannot be sold or bought and registered without one. Our compulsory third party insurance is included in our registration every year by the government and the car will be seized if unregistered. If a car is found to have minor defaults it is issued with what is locally called a canary as the label stuck onto your car is yellow, you have a certain amount of time to have the issues remedied and it is illegal to remove the canary.

@@grahvisSo that's why police in countries like Germany, France, and Denmark usually carry guns? No guns for police is just a UK thing that rubbed off on them.
@@straightpipediesel The Irish police (An Garda) don't need to carry guns to do their job and only gun nuts from the land of Yankee struggle to understand that. An unarmed police force is, in fact, something that the Irish can be quite proud of.
I find it comical how you get the 'stern face' treatment showing your passport going on holiday, while they're turning up in boats having chucked their ID's away & getting a warm blanket, a cuppa then a council house.
As a common travel area there should be no need for a passport for people from the UK entering via an Irish airport. UK airports make the effort to make sure this doesn't happen to Irish people landing in the UK from Ireland and deliver the passengers beyond passport control. This is just jobs for the boys! Unnecessary.
@@alexg5513 He had his driving licence but it was in his hand held luggage that was taken off him by the airline. The main point is that he should never have needed to go through immigration checks coming from the UK.
Mick is irascible and rude, seemingly to everyone. Not sure he should be in a public facing role. I realize that if someone has something to hide, this demeanor can be useful in making them a bit more nervous, and uncovering it, but is that occasional benefit worth him being a pretty bad ambassador for his country to everyone he sees?
Everybody knows that. But Northern Ireland is. And UK and IE are Common Travel Area members (sort of mini Schengen area with also Channel Islands and Man). Which means a European national with no right to live in the UK could potentially use free movement rights to enter Ireland, and then cross into the UK undetected. So Garda has to assess the likelihood of this being abused, even if you are European national. Interesting little special situation.
Interesting.... but thinking about Ireland..... Has Ireland actually done anything significant to support Ukraine? I gather that they get a huge amount of tax income from farming EU corporation tax - has any of that bought any tanks for the people defending Europe from Fascism (we all know Ireland's record in WW II in supporting fascism ofc.)
It wasn't in his checked luggage, it was in his carry on luggage. There wasn't room in the overhead bins so they had stored it below. He says that in the beginning.
Infiltrate? What are you on? Ireland is not in Schengen so a passport is needed to get to another country in the EU. The UK and Ireland share a common travel area and residents of each can live in the other.
"Every month, nearly 2 million cars cross the 500 km border ....." WRONG. First of all, cars don't do things on their own so CARS do not cross the border. They may be driven or carried on a transporter but they don't do it because they take it into their engine management systems to go for a drive one day. Many of the crossings are made by a small number of cars. You only have to be a commuter working typically 22 days a month and you will cross the border in the SAME CAR 44 times. Some people living close to the border make return trips several times a month to save money buying some things in the Republic, other things on British territory. Other people use their cars to make return journeys across the border several times a month to visit friends or relations or just to have a drink or for a mixture of all of those reasons. It would be an unusual month in which more than 100,000 cars are driven across the border. "2 million a month" would mean more than half the cars on the entire island of Ireland would have to be driven across the border in each month yet 90% of cars on the island of Ireland have never been driven anywhere near the border.
Do you need an invitation letter to visit Ireland? If you are visiting someone in Ireland, you should send a letter of invitation written by them. The letter should have information about how they know you, the dates you are visiting them and why they are inviting you to Ireland. They should include a colour copy of their passport or national identity card I don't know you need it, woow

The Englisg guy didn't need to go to the Non-EU line in Dublin, over to the right of the immigration desks are all the EU/EEA/CH/UK desks.
To be fair to the guy whose friend had to get his bag to get his passport.. the bag was put on hold at the gate and it’s easy to forget things in it. I once got my handluggage taken at the gate and I forgot my laptop was in it
"Don't chew on it. Suck on it!" LOL 😂😂😂
There is no air flight I would ever take thinking of putting a passport in my luggage -- checked or carry on. Golfer was naive and if travelled much had fallen into bad habits.
Where else is there to put it, in your pocket? That's how you lose it.
@@TheMuffinBurgler exactly.. have fun being on a 12h flight with that damn thing in your pocket the whole time..
bending can damage the electronics in it btw..
@@mats7492 Get a passport wallet. And wear trousers with front pockets.

stil not gonna shove my passport in there on a 12h flight..
Whenever I arrived for St patricks day In dublin I could clearly see the extra security. But as a dane I never got pulled for control.

To be fair to the Asian woman who came to visit her sister who carries a letter from there family sayin😅g that they are invited to visit????? .... she could have been a dodgy visitor but you still would not carry a letter inviting you to visit!
A formal letter of invitation is a visa requirement for Ireland.
@@hilaryb8807 She holds a Canadian passport so she's visa exempt. I have a brother in Ireland (Irish citizen) who comes to visit me in Canada every once in a while and he never got questioned about an invitation letter, all he's got is my address and contact number.
Looks like a power trip against an ethnic minority lady to me.
@@redademeI agree! Who brings a letter of invitation.
@@redademevisa exempt but limited to 90 days so whenever there is a time limit, proof of return and the letter are needed for immigration control even if they sometimes don’t ask.
All they had to do was call the sister 🤷♀️ They do it all the time on Australian Border Force 😅
Whats up with giving warnings?? why is that ? You failed to do something what you should have than its game over > pay the fine !!
I don't know how people cant have any form of ID on them. I always have my wallet....with my cards ans and driving licence in as ID just in case

im suprised they dont use that drug machine in uk and usa police cars as thats a great bit of kit
@I tend to visit Spain (Canary Islands) for holidays and because the UK doesn't have I.D. cards, (like all other British nationals) I've had the only option of using my passport to cross EU borders.
It always seemed to get me better treatment than EU citizens, travelling only with I.D. cards.
Up until summer 2023 that's been the case, despite the 'banner headlines' BRITISH PASSPORT on the document now. . .
Lally needs a new job
The lrish border control are incredibly rude and unfriendly. Last time l visited (to give Gardi teaining course in Krav Maga) l swore l would never return...that was 12 years ago; l've kept my promise.
I've never been to Ireland, but based on what we see in these videos, yes, a lot of them are surly and rude. Not polite at all. They can do their jobs without being rude to virtually everyone they meet. That Mick guy in this episode is an embarassment to the force.
The rudest man I ever had was at LAX, and this was way before 9/11. I was with my young son and he accused me of stealing him from his father, we were only there for Disneyland etc and had a return ticket. Plus I had to get my son’s father’s approval to get him a passport from Australia in the first place. My sister had her children and had no issue. I worked for the police here at the time 😂
One thing we don’t have to worry about in Australia is people driving their cars over here 😂. We also don’t need to have our cars issued with a Roadworthy Certificate every year in Victoria, only when a car is sold or bought. It cannot be sold or bought and registered without one. Our compulsory third party insurance is included in our registration every year by the government and the car will be seized if unregistered. If a car is found to have minor defaults it is issued with what is locally called a canary as the label stuck onto your car is yellow, you have a certain amount of time to have the issues remedied and it is illegal to remove the canary.
The comment at 9.37 didn't age well. They are all at that now.

Thank God this immigration officer is not working at some maternity clinic. He will be asking new borns if they have a letter of invitation 😂😂😂

In the EU and UK there are sensible gun regulations.
That's correct. You have to meet very strict criteria to become a member of an armed squad.
@@grahvisSo that's why police in countries like Germany, France, and Denmark usually carry guns? No guns for police is just a UK thing that rubbed off on them.
@@straightpipediesel The Irish police (An Garda) don't need to carry guns to do their job and only gun nuts from the land of Yankee struggle to understand that. An unarmed police force is, in fact, something that the Irish can be quite proud of.
@@PatmofarClearly they have poor schools in Ireland because you completely ignored anything my comment said.
I find it comical how you get the 'stern face' treatment showing your passport going on holiday, while they're turning up in boats having chucked their ID's away & getting a warm blanket, a cuppa then a council house.
As a common travel area there should be no need for a passport for people from the UK entering via an Irish airport. UK airports make the effort to make sure this doesn't happen to Irish people landing in the UK from Ireland and deliver the passengers beyond passport control. This is just jobs for the boys! Unnecessary.
I agree but even in the UK, you must have some sort of decent id on you like a drivers licence.. that guy had nothing except his phone.
@@alexg5513 He had his driving licence but it was in his hand held luggage that was taken off him by the airline. The main point is that he should never have needed to go through immigration checks coming from the UK.
to enter the UK all people gotta do is cross the land border
@@PS-ru2ov The are both land, sea and air routes connecting Eire to the UK, so not exactly accurate!
wtf is a letter of invitation? How absurd.
9:40 “it’s crazy to come into an airport without a travel document”.
Uhmm. No…. IT’S STUPID.
'Threat of illegal immigrants'... WOOWWW Be careful there!! hahaha
Don't drug drive then you keep everything no sympathy
Wow these ppl don't mess around. I'd feel safe there
Mick is irascible and rude, seemingly to everyone. Not sure he should be in a public facing role. I realize that if someone has something to hide, this demeanor can be useful in making them a bit more nervous, and uncovering it, but is that occasional benefit worth him being a pretty bad ambassador for his country to everyone he sees?
Ireland is not apart of the UK
yeah obviously..
duh
Everybody knows that. But Northern Ireland is. And UK and IE are Common Travel Area members (sort of mini Schengen area with also Channel Islands and Man). Which means a European national with no right to live in the UK could potentially use free movement rights to enter Ireland, and then cross into the UK undetected. So Garda has to assess the likelihood of this being abused, even if you are European national. Interesting little special situation.
Really!?….get educated
@@counterleonot true
Interesting.... but thinking about Ireland..... Has Ireland actually done anything significant to support Ukraine? I gather that they get a huge amount of tax income from farming EU corporation tax - has any of that bought any tanks for the people defending Europe from Fascism (we all know Ireland's record in WW II in supporting fascism ofc.)
So don’t you need to show your passport and boarding pass when boarding the plane so if so how did his passport end up in the checked in luggage
It wasn't in his checked luggage, it was in his carry on luggage. There wasn't room in the overhead bins so they had stored it below. He says that in the beginning.
What about the Ukraine cars with on tax no test not cleared
Unless u are an illegal migrant right Varadker ?
03:40 Britons dont need an international passport to travel to Ireland ? And from there they could freely infiltrate the entire EU ?
Flights from Ireland to a Schengen country would still have to go through border control.
Infiltrate? What are you on? Ireland is not in Schengen so a passport is needed to get to another country in the EU. The UK and Ireland share a common travel area and residents of each can live in the other.

These cops are no nonsense law enforcement officers, better than the U.S. Cops!
The GARDA primarily deal with a demographic that is familiar.Do ya follow?
Irish border and immigration are so sweet and tolerant, not at all like the British.
The British and Australian seem pretty nice.The U.S.are all dressed up like SWAT and are abusive,Canadians aren't the best either.

@@Wesjapa100 incorrect. You can book accomodation after you arrive. there is no mandate to have accomodation booked beforehand..

Some people need arrested illgal driving
Why is it crazy to come to an airport without an ID? Do you go to the train station with an ID? Bus stop?
"Every month, nearly 2 million cars cross the 500 km border ....." WRONG. First of all, cars don't do things on their own so CARS do not cross the border. They may be driven or carried on a transporter but they don't do it because they take it into their engine management systems to go for a drive one day. Many of the crossings are made by a small number of cars. You only have to be a commuter working typically 22 days a month and you will cross the border in the SAME CAR 44 times. Some people living close to the border make return trips several times a month to save money buying some things in the Republic, other things on British territory. Other people use their cars to make return journeys across the border several times a month to visit friends or relations or just to have a drink or for a mixture of all of those reasons. It would be an unusual month in which more than 100,000 cars are driven across the border. "2 million a month" would mean more than half the cars on the entire island of Ireland would have to be driven across the border in each month yet 90% of cars on the island of Ireland have never been driven anywhere near the border.

serious business, its enforcement, and at times added measures are implemented everywhere ... its work/job/duty ✊ 😑
Do you need an invitation letter to visit Ireland?
If you are visiting someone in Ireland, you should send a letter of invitation written by them. The letter should have information about how they know you, the dates you are visiting them and why they are inviting you to Ireland. They should include a colour copy of their passport or national identity card
I don't know you need it, woow
