Okay... I am not sure if I'm understanding your intended tone here. It is not obvious to me why "no problems are to be expected". I am only trying to make sure I understand the process and hoping for some kind advice or to hear the experiences of others. I am sorry if I have offended anyone.ca.funke wrote:As a US-citizen, you can obviously just go anyway, no problems to be expected...megoizzy wrote:...I am an American national and don't require a visa to enter the UK or Ireland...
Intended tone was "friendly-informative although I´m in a rush (and non-native in English)", so forgive me if it came across rudemegoizzy wrote:Okay... I am not sure if I'm understanding your intended tone here.
US citizens are not visa-required for visiting purposes in either Éire or the UK. All you need is your passport and evidence that you can support your stay, which may (usually) not exceed 90 days. In most cases they don´t even ask any questions, I´d take a credit-card to make sure. If you want to be super-sure take an invitation from whoever you´re visiting and/or the hotel-reservation, but this is most probably a total overkill...megoizzy wrote:It is not obvious to me why "no problems are to be expected".

Ah, thanks so much! I really appreciate your help and no rudeness inferred (internet comms can be so clumsy!).ca.funke wrote: Intended tone was "friendly-informative although I´m in a rush (and non-native in English)", so forgive me if it came across rude

As a family-member of an EEA-citizen you have far more rights, but you won´t need them since your purpose is "only" a visit.
Enjoy your trip
Only because you are not a visa national, you should not have any problems.megoizzy wrote:Hi all,
I have just received our passports back in the post, having requested them for travel next month. I was desperately hoping that the RC would be issued with this request, as I know that has worked for lots of other people, but sadly, no RC. :(
Anyway, we are going to be travelling to Ireland via ferry. I was just wondering about other people's experiences using the COA to travel internationally. Do most UK passport control agents recognise the COA and not give much trouble?
I am not concerned about entering Ireland, as I am not a visa national and it is my husband's home country (he'll be travelling with me).
Thanks!
