Ok cool....but she's only 3 and so has no other form of ID.

The way it's looking now is we'll get in to Ibiza no problem, then one of us will fly to Madrid to get a new passport for her before we're due to come home.

Hi all,

I know this question has probably been asked numerous times here but just wondering how long roughly does it take for passport to arrive after submitting application? My current passport is out of date since early June and im looking to go to USA at the end of August but want to make sure that I would have a new passport in time before booking and paying for flights

I renewed mine recently and it took about three weeks altogether.
Brexit has apparently caused additional delays now.
Get your application in via Passport Express ASAP (which is showing reasonable turnaround times) - https://www.dfa.ie/passports-citizenship/passport-express/current-turnaround-times/

Current turnaround time on the site is 13 working days for a renewal, realistically it'll be longer with the surge in applications because of brexit.

It says on the site to apply six weeks before travel, so I'd say you'll be fine if you apply today!

Hi all,

Not sure if been asked before. I'm going backpacking in October, and while my passport isn't damaged to the point where it's unacceptable, it definitely looks shoddy (think gone through the washing machine a few times).

I want to replace it before I go travelling, but as it's not damaged or near it's renewal date, I'm not sure how to go about getting a replacement one. Any ideas?

renewals can be made at any time.

If you are only travelling round Europe, then just get a passport card and leave the old fashioned bulky passport book at home.

So, person A is UK passport holder and previous Irish resident for long time, but currently resident in UK.
Person B is Irish passport holder and long time UK resident and married to person A.
Person C is Irish and UK passport holder due to being child of A+B.

We can get a UK passport for person B due to residency and marriage, application will be going in the post shortly. Had planned on doubling up on passports anyway just down to then having a spare for when you forget to renew the other one.

Is is possible to get an Irish passport, therefore still an EU one after the other nonsense is concluded, for person A?
From looking up the requirements previously I think you just needed to be resident for X of the previous Y years, and pay some extortionate fee. I think that the time limit for person A applying under that reason may have now expired though due to not being resident any more. No knowing what effect the Brexit will have on the CTA rules, but is there anyway, other than the whole family moving back to Ireland for 5 years, to get the dual nationality for everyone.

Knew I should have just sucked it up and paid the fee back in the day. Seemed completely frivolous then though, and would have only served to allow some trolling of friends with my Irishness.

Any Irish grandparents that'd entitle you to a passport?

Nope, at least not in any recent enough generation.

Icelandic carrier Wow Air says it plans to offer flights to New York from Ireland for €129.

The airline will begin flying to New York from Dublin Airport this winter from November 25th.

Flights will operate to New York, via Reykjavik, five days a week on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday.

The airline says this expansion follows a successful launch of transatlantic services from Dublin, via Iceland, to Boston, Washington, D.C, Montréal and Toronto in 2015, and to LA and San Fran in January 2016.

It is the first low-cost airline to offer transatlantic services from Dublin, with a one hour 20 minute layover in Reykjavik.

Try bringing a bag with you for your trip and see how much it works out at.. over €100 return!

Try looking at their site. They charge for everything, even larger hand luggage. By the time you pay for these addons it's not so cheap.

dobman88

Comes in at around a grand for two people after all the charges.

If something sounds too good to be true....

The worst thing is that this airline is WORSE then Ryanair, your carry on allowance is 5kg!

ProudDUB

Yep. Unless you are only going over for a couple of days, and/or you can live in the same clothes for your entire trip, you can forget about getting to NY for that price.

LXFlyer

This is like all their other claims of flying from Dublin to the US.

Two separate flights (i.e. different aircraft) with a connection at Reykjavik.

No different to using any European hub.

It is NOT a flight from Dublin to New York.

So applied for passport card and couldn't get a photo right, this included using a photo taken that I would use for my passport. I decided to click the option that I had a medical condition that prevented me from getting picture just to see what would happen. It showed me the finished product and it looked exactly like the sample picture they gave. What you reckon will happen? I'm hoping somebody sees the pic and has common sense that it is fine.

average_runner

Whats the point in going to New York if you can't buy a load stuff!

jackinthemix94

Why are people saying 'after all the charges'? A lot of people don't need a bag, a small carry on is just fine. I just did a week in Europe with a ruck sack that would have fitted under the limit for Wow Air just fine.

It's fine to want a bag etc but this is an amazing deal for those of us who don't need an entire wardrobe of clothes and luxury treatment.
