| Feb 18, 2020 at 6:58 | comment | added | Dean Meehan | As a side note, I live on the Ire/N.Ire border and your going to have a valid visa for both Ireland and the Uk to travel over the land border. If your caught (very likely if you take train/bus but unlikely otherwise) between the South and North, you'll be taken off the bus/train by the Gardí if you can't show both proofs of status. | |
| Feb 18, 2020 at 4:49 | comment | added | phoog | @Jessica the Irish immigration officers will definitely consider whether you are using Dublin as an "easier" way to get to Belfast, which means they'll be looking into whether the stated purpose of your trip is deceptive. This is playing with fire, and it explains Sneftel's and mkennedy's comments. You should definitely have solid evidence of your plans in Dublin, but even if you do, they might discount it as easy to fake: nothing stops you from booking a hotel in Dublin and then going to Belfast anyway. It would be safer to meet in Paris or elsewhere in the Schengen area. | |

| Feb 17, 2020 at 16:09 | comment | added | Sneftel | Going in via Dublin after being hassled at Belfast is definitely going to strike them as suspicious (it's the sort of thing someone would do to try to evade immigration controls). Honestly, I think you'd have better luck at Belfast, as long as you correct whatever flaws they found in your request for entry last time. | |
| Feb 17, 2020 at 16:00 | comment | added | jcaron | @Jessica Note that if the immigration officer in Dublin pays any attention to your travel history, they will see that: you have been in the UK for nearly 3 consecutive months quite recently, and that the last time you came to the UK, you were only given one month on your Leave to Enter rather than the usual 6 months. They are bound to ask many questions, including how you are supporting yourself for all this time, why you got only that sort Leave to Enter last time, and so on... | |

| Feb 17, 2020 at 15:47 | comment | added | Jessica | @Traveller thank you for ur advises. Sorry for asking so many questions but i want to know what if im going to Dublin immigration instead of UK one this time (with a return ticket + travel plans + finacial proof)? Since they are two different countries but on the other hand, they are linked via CTA. | |
| Feb 17, 2020 at 15:36 | comment | added | Traveller | @Jessica Because it wasn’t clear to UK Immigration how and when you intended to leave the UK, and on the face of it you fit the profile of a higher risk visitor (young, presumably no ties to home, British boyfriend etc). Typical tourists don’t make lengthy open-ended visits because they have jobs, dependent family etc that compel them to return. Personally, I think your risk of being denied entry is probably relatively high at this point, whether you enter with your boyfriend or alone. | |
| Feb 17, 2020 at 15:31 | comment | added | Jessica | @Traveller thank you. Would it be better if I enter with bf? I really will not stay illegally and never did. Dont know why that officer gave me such a tough time. | |

| Feb 17, 2020 at 15:28 | comment | added | Jessica | @TomW I just wanted to know will the previous problem at Belfast immigration affect me going through Dublin immigration this time(even though i have a return ticket) ? Especially im travelling alone as a young female | |
| Feb 17, 2020 at 15:23 | comment | added | Traveller | Are you intending to remain in Ireland for the 2 weeks of your stay? With a pretty recent ‘limited leave to enter’ on your U.K. immigration record, it’s possible you will encounter a problem trying to enter the CTA. Travelling by yourself as a female won’t attract as much attention from Immigration as that recent near refusal of entry. But I don’t think it’s possible to give anything other than an opinion-based answer - we can’t know what Irish Immigration would conclude. | |
| Feb 17, 2020 at 15:20 | comment | added | Jessica | Im posting the same story just for your reference to know better about my previous problem cause i consider it might be a problem for me gettimg through the immigration. But the questions i am asking are different. I was asking about a question on my UK work visa application which is if i ever had required to leave the uk. This time im asking if i will have a problem getting through Ireland Immigration. | |
| Feb 17, 2020 at 15:14 | comment | added | Tom W | @Jessica the question is almost an exact copy-paste of the previous question, also posted by an account named "Jessica". | |
| Feb 17, 2020 at 15:13 | comment | added | jcaron | @Traveller You're probably thinking about this one travel.stackexchange.com/questions/153493/… | |
| Feb 17, 2020 at 15:12 | comment | added | Jessica | Nope. I have not asked this question before. Im a HK citizen | |
| Feb 17, 2020 at 15:04 | comment | added | Traveller | Your story sounds familiar, have you posted a similar question recently? You should be aware that UK and Ireland are linked via the Common Travel Area travel.stackexchange.com/questions/138745/… What ties do you have to Hong Kong? | |
