Czechia to Ireland
Can children travel on this route?
Children and other travellers under 18 must carry a notarised letter of parental consent, a travel authorisation stamped by the embassy, and must have a guardian declared at the border.
Ireland maintains an embassy or consulate in Czechia, so any required consular travel authorisation can be obtained while you are still in Czechia.
What should I do before I travel?
Before you travel, check that your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your date of entry into Ireland.
If you prefer to travel with your national identity card instead of a passport, that document is accepted for entry to Ireland.
Arrange any return flight and hotel bookings you may need as border officers may ask to see them. Buying travel insurance is recommended, although it is not required for entry.
What happens at the border?
At the Irish border, officers may ask to see your passport or national identity card and may request proof of sufficient funds for your stay, a return flight, and proof of a hotel booking. No arrival registration or entry card is required on arrival in Ireland.
