Arriving at the airport

​

You should complete a landing card given to you during the flight. When you arrive in Ireland, you will see two different signs for border control at the airport. One queue is for nationals from the European Economic Area and the other is for all other passport holders. 

You will need to show your passport and entry vignette to border control. It is also advisable to carry the following in your hand-luggage as immigration Officers may ask to see this information: the decision letter you received with the outcome of your visa application, a print-out of your CAS email, supporting documentation used for your visa application and details of where you will be staying in Ireland. 

Once you have collected your luggage, you will pass through Customs control. You cannot bring any meat or dairy products from outside the EU and there are also restrictions on other food products such as fish, eggs and honey as well as some fruit, vegetables and plants. You will also need to declare cash of 10,000 Euros or more, or the equivalent in another currency, if you are travelling from a country outside the EU.
