Do I need transit visa for Dublin? - Crop ethnic man with navigator in taxi

I have a flight from BOM-MUC-DUB-YYZ. In DUB, the flight will land at terminal 1. Will not be changing terminals because connecting flight is from same terminal.

Can you please tell whether I need transit visa?

The website isn't clear about this part. The airlines said i need to confirm from embassy.

Traveller holds Indian passport.



Best Answer

The airline is perfectly capable of telling you whether a visa is needed in this scenario; they have a shared database called Timatic which is used for this purpose, and they use it to verify your documents when you check in for your flight. It's not clear why they refused to tell you over the phone, but I can make some uncharitable guesses.

Anyway, regarding transiting through Dublin airport, Timatic says you can only do it without a visa in Terminal 2.

TWOV (Transit Without Visa):
Visa required, except for Passengers transiting through Dublin (DUB) with a confirmed onward ticket for a flight to a third country. They must:

  • arrive at and depart from Terminal 2, and
  • be transiting between 04:00 and 16:00 on the same calendar day, and
  • stay in the international transit area of the airport, and
  • have documents required for the next destination.
