I think Northern Ireland residents get an Irish passport. They can stay as long as they like.
Getting an Irish passport from Northern Ireland
- Thread starter glenn2926
- Start date
yes and no lol, NI residents have the option of British, Irish or both passports, so yes if travelling with the Irish passport there are no restrictions.
I thought that was the case. How long does one need to live in NI before one can get an Irish passport?
Some Rep. of Ireland insurers apply a 30 day limit to each foreign trip.
Hopefully someone will be along to help us out. Just had an idea, if say a group of people bought a house in Northern Ireland between them and used it as their residence for X amount of time would that count as living in NI?I would love to know that too - rees-mogg won't tell me but he has one.
Born in Northern Ireland, not necessarily resident in Northern Ireland I believe.
Born in Northern Ireland before 1/1/2005

Just had a look online and wasn’t aware that others can apply for citizenship by naturalisation, having lived there 5 out of the last 9 years….
And Northern Ireland likely counts as Ireland

Entitlement to Irish citizenship
What is Irish citizenship and who can become an Irish citizen?
You are entitled to an Irish Passport if you were born on the island of Ireland North or South or if one of your parents was.
Or you could marry someone from there and live with them I believe for at least 3 years before applying for citizenship through marriage.
The Irish government do not differentiate between the North and the Republic and following the Anglo Irish Agreement residents in the North (British) part of the country could apply for Irish citizenship and the passport that goes with it and still retain a British passport if they wished, ie become dual nationals.

I'm sure that if you have an Irish Grandparent you are also entitled to an Irish passport
Why not Google the question and find the official answer, rather than guessing and making things up?
Here’s my guesses:
1. You have to live in Northern Ireland for 327 years, of which at least 250 have to be consecutive and within 10 years of the 327th year expiring.
2. You need at least one great grandmother whose name was Paddy.
3. You need to be able to sing Danny Boy in Gaelic, backwards.
4. You need to perform the ‘Drink a pint of Guinness, without touching the glass’ trick, twice and in different pubs, witnessed by 10 people who themselves hold an Irish passport.
PS I may well have made some or all of those up.

I knew it was something. My apologies to anyone from Northern Ireland seeking a definitive answer on how to get their mitts on a green passport. I may well have set your hearts racing by accident.
It’s a Red Passport as Ireland is in the EU. If you or your parents were born in the North or South of Ireland you can have one, it’s that simple.
Yep I have both. Used my British one today to travel to Sweden as I had it handy when I needed to add the details to my boarding pass. The gent at Swedish passport control almost bollicked me as to if I had an Irish one I should have used it! In fairness there is no restriction on movement in the Eu if you have an Irish one. I’m putting c40 steel erectors into Sweden in May and have about 50/50 on passports

Or 1 grandparent. That’s all you need for an Irish passport JJH
Yes it’s worked out well for our international football team. Also a friend of mine who had to leave an African country leaving everything behind. He was able to bring his entire family and start a new life here without any problems. JJH
It’s handy having both……..I’ve got two red ones at the moment
