This evidence can take the form of a valid national passport or national identity card. Either is acceptable. Possession of a return ticket, any length of validity on their document, or sufficient funds for the length of their proposed visit should not be imposed.

Passengers transiting the UK destined for the Republic of Ireland are advised to hold return tickets to avoid delay.
