You need one of The South, you don't need one for the North. You can cross the border freely but that's down to your conscience. If it's for work in the South you'd need a work permit.

Thanks for the reply.

Ofcourse UK includes Northern Ireland. Last year UK made an Agreement with Ireland for Flexibility for India and Chinese citizens to visit Ireland (Republic of Ireland) with a Valid UK Visa & dont require an Irish Visa.

When I look into their website its for people on UK Visit Visas dont need an Irish Visa. But didnt see Tier1 listed there, so my interpretation is required to apply for Visit Visa.

Ofcourse we require a work permit to work in Ireland.

Thank you.

Regards,
Sunita

check https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... .0_EXT.pdf
for following clause
Entry to the United Kingdom via Ireland
Applicants who entered through Ireland, and therefore have not passed through immigration
control, cannot demonstrate their date of entry to the UK using their passport. Alternative
evidence to demonstrate this can include, but is not limited to:
 a copy of a travel ticket showing the date of arrival
 independent evidence of activity following entry, such as
o a letter from an employer stating when the applicant started their employment in
the UK
o a tenancy agreement from a landlord stating when the applicant started living a UK
address.
