Even when showing the original certificate of naturalization proving that I'm Irish?annemarie wrote:Hi,
I was able to travel with a valid visa, no GNIB card and an approval letter two days ago. I went to INIS and renewed my visa and then sent my GNIB card. I don't think you'll be able to travel with an expired visa (no Airline will allow you to board the plane back to Ireland in your country of destination).
I see your point, but it will be the certificate + a valid non Irish passport which can be seen as a form of ID.bundle wrote:you need either a valid re entry visa or your irish passport or an approved ID. if you try with the others you might find yourself in a trouble. that certificate is not for travelling or not an ID.

That makes a lot of sense, especially the part that Irish citizens don't need a passport to enter the country, and a proof of citizenship will suffice.jeupsy wrote:In my view as long as you have a certificate of naturalisation, I don't see how the border control officer can refuse you. It is an obvious proof that you are an Irish citizen - and as an citizen you don't require any document to enter your own country as long as their is no doubt about your identity!
As others have mentioned you might run into issue to board the plane though. But if the guys at your departure airport are competent enough, they have a 24h contact number to get in touch with Irish authorities who can verify whether or not you are a citizen and whether they will let you enter Ireland.
I would personally avoid travelling unless really necessary to save the trouble, but in case of an emergency I would go ahead.
