Inside United Kingdom: Crossing the Border
Land Border: The United Kingdom has just one land border, with the Republic of Ireland. A reciprocal agreement is in place between the countries to allow passage from one nation to the other, of UK and Irish citizens, without passport checks (identification documents should be carried). However, other nationalities are not subject to this waiver and normal passport checks are in operation.
Arriving by ferry, air or train: These are the three main methods of entry into the UK. All citizens of the EEA (EU nations plus Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, San Marino and Andorra) are allowed free passage, right of abode and have the right to work into the UK without impedance. A showing of your passport at Border Control is usually all that's needed and registration with your local JobCentre and Social Security Office.
Non-EEA citizens and nationals have different entry requirements, though for citizens of Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States, a Visa Waiver Program operates. This entitles the holder to 90 days as a tourist in the UK without needing a visa. You must prove you have sufficient funds for your stay and show a return ticket to Immigration Officials, if asked to do so.
I know but these "irish" may have funny ideas...
I hope you have now left our fine shores
yup Its still UK so its just the same as going to Scotland or Wales
Except the fact that you need a boat or a plane.
