Passport / Visa

Ireland’s passport and visa requirements vary for different nationalities: if you are a UK citizen, you can simply use official photo identification, whereas if you are an EU citizen, you'll need a national identity card. Visitors from EU countries (including Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein), USA, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, don’t need a visa to visit the Republic or Northern Ireland. South African visitors can visit the Republic of Ireland visa-free, but they need a UK visa in order to enter Northern Ireland. If you're not sure whether or not to apply for a visa, we recommend that you contact the embassy or consulate in your country.

Waterford Airport (WAT)

Waterford Airport, the one where the first international Ryanair flight took off, is located ca. 10 km from the city centre, and can be reached by car, train, or bus in 15-20 minutes. As of late 2018, however, no commercial airline operates routes here, so reaching Waterford is only possible by other means of transport.
