NEW from 2025 - unless you have a British or Irish passport you MUST pre-register online to cross the land border into Northern Ireland.

 

You can NOT register on arrival in Northern Ireland.

Permission to travel costs £10 and is valid for multiple entries to the United Kingdom for two years, or until your passport expires.

Individual applications are required for each traveller - INCLUDING BABIES AND CHILDREN.

You should apply by downloading the official UK government phone app, or online - AT LEAST 72 HOURS before crossing into Northern Ireland.
