Originally posted by BlueSharp View PostYou're going to tulip the bed when you find out you can clear US customs in Ireland.
It’s an agreement between two countries and applies only to people, not to goods, not to services.
It works by having US customs officials based in a particular part of the airports - post security, into the US immigration area. The part of the airport where you have cleared immigration is effectively US territory.
Now to get around the physical location being US territory, they don’t call it immigration, but “Preclearance”, even though it has armed US personnel there who have the right to throw you out, should they decide to do so.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostThat's an inaccurate representation IMO. The situation was that the UK wasn't going to join Schengen and Ireland had to choose between Schengen and the CTA. Maintaining the CTA was the obvious choice to ensure free movement of people on the island of Ireland. It wasn't to please the UK. The political backlash in Ireland would have been immense.
Since UK didn't want to join, Ireland didn't have a real choice on the matter..."The boy who cried Sheep"Comment

That link is a NL government describing the situation for NL citizens. It doesn't define a need for UK citizens to carry ID or passports in the RoI.Comment

On reflection, I don't recall that being the question... In fact we already have agreements in place for British and Irish transit between the two states. A fact that I mentioned earlier.Last edited by Zigenare; 2 October 2019, 15:51.Old Greg - In search of acceptance since Mar 2007. Hoping each leap will be his last.Comment
