For
many people traveling to countries on a tourist visa, specific requirements may differ from place to place. It
is always a good idea to look into what requirements your desired destination
may hold before departing. People travel for various reasons and as summer
approaches, traveling as a tourist can be quite common. There are many popular
destinations across the globe that people tend to favor for various reasons.
Northern Ireland is a popular
destination due to its close proximity to mainland Europe. As it is part of the
UK, no tourist visa is required for UK or EU nationals to visit. For other
nations, different requirements must be met depending on your country of origin
and the duration of your stay.
When traveling to Northern Ireland,
your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay. In addition, one
blank page is required in your passport for an entry stamp. When it comes to
tourist visas, they are not required for anyone staying in the country for 90
days or less.
