Belfast Travel Forum

Hi,
We are travelling to Belfast in May with a UK visa(we're non EU Turkish Citizens).We also want to see Dublin by train. While crossing the border with train does anyone ask for passoport control&visa?

there are no border checks.

The is no obvious border as such - so no checks.

special thanks to both of you :)

Merhaba, nasil sin?
there are indeed no checks but i would still be careful...there are always checks on the bus from belfast to dublin and i cant understand why they check the bus but not the train! but if you have your UK exit stamp you should be fine!

Merhaba Catherine,
It seems you have been to Turkey and know a few words in our language :) If you need any help with your any other vacation in Turkey I would be glad to help you.
I wish you replied before cause we choosed the bus option and while getting back to Belfast after 2 days of stay in Dublin our bus stopped by the "garda"!We were taken to the immigration office. A bit afraid at first place but the guy was so friendly.He just gave us a document saying that “you should get a visa next time!” and he hurried to take us to the next bus.He even helped us to carry our bags!So for the one’s travelling without visa take the train!
