Hello,
Planning to travel from France to Ireland this summer.
Do French citizens need a passport and visa to "cross the border" to Northern Ireland?
TIA for your answer.

Hey Magali,

How nice that you are coming over to see us this summer! As long as you arrive and leave the island through the Republic of Ireland, your national ID card will suffice, even if you go to Northern Ireland by train/car or bus. We got more info on this subject right here

Are you planning a road trip around the island or to selected areas? 🚗 😊

A bientôt,
Antoine

Hi Magali,

Great to hear you are planning to visit Northern Ireland from your trip to Donegal.  Hopefully you will spend some time in the beautiful Causeway Coast and Glens, located in the north of the province. It is a region famed for its attractions, beautiful scenery, castles, beaches, cuisine and myths & legends.

To find out more about what the area has to offer, please take a look at our web site: https://www.visitcausewaycoastandglens.com  

We look forward to welcoming you!
Anne

Hello Magali, 

Delighted that you are planning a trip to Ireland & hope to include a visit to Northern Ireland whist here. 

You will be glad to hear that there are no check points along our border, and so ID will not be required if visiting Northern Ireland. 
I would advise however, that if you are hiring a car and driving across the border that you make sure you inform the hire company at the time of booking as failure to do so may mean your insurance would be invalid should anything happen whilst in Northern Ireland (assuming you are hiring a car in the Republic) 

I am unsure what part of Donegal you are staying, but Derry~Londonderry is also very easily accessed by public transport from the main hubs of Donegal Town & Letterkenny; should you chose not to drive. The Walled City is steeped in history, dating back to St Columba founding a monastery in the city in 546AD. Come take a walk along the city walls, visit our Museums & Guildhall, take a walking tour through the Bogside and cross our Peace Bridge for some fantastic views of the city. The Causeway Coastal Route & Inishowen Peninsula are also quite easily accessed from the city, making it a good option for further exploration. 

Happy Planning & we look forward to welcoming you to Northern Ireland soon. 

Kind Regards 

The Visit Derry Team
