What legal documents are Italian citizens supposed to carry when traveling to Ireland? - Crop unrecognizable person demonstrating British passport

This summer I would like to go on vacation in Ireland for two weeks with my girlfriend. I'm 21, she is 19 years old. We're Italian. I have a driver's license and carta d'identità.

Question: As an Italian citizen, what legal documents are we supposed to carry when we travel to Ireland? Also what electrical adapter (for mobile and laptop) should I carry with me?



Best Answer

You need either a carta d'identità or passport to enter Ireland - a driving licence is not a travel document and as such will not do.

Granted, in actuality anyone who can prove beyond reasonable doubt that they are an EEA national (a driving licence alone is not sufficient for this) should be let in by immigration authorities, but good luck getting on a plane with that argument - airlines may face a hefty penalty for transporting a passenger inadmissible to the destination country.
