It is often far quicker to break away from the sheep and simply present your passport at the EU/EEA passport queue. At some airports such as Stansted and Gatwick the sheep need to wait for someone to open a gate to allow them thru. In the meantime I could be already done by simply going via passport control.I have entered the UK many times without having to go through passport control , they have a seperate channel for flights arrving from Ireland and the Channel Islands.
That will cause fun along the border with our neighbour to the north.As far as I recall, a passport will be required for travel between Ireland & UK from next year, following changes in UK legislation.
As Bond007 said, this could be difficult to manage for short trips up north. How do our EU neighbours control land border passage for example France to Spain? Do they still insist on passports for crossing over the land boundary?
I was waved through without even opening my passport when I told them that I had arrived from Cork!Is the physical layout of Dublin Airport forcing everyone, regardless of where their flight originated (including internal Irish flights), through passport control now? I had to show ID when returning from Cork recently.
That only works for those passports that have RFID.Slightly off-topic but I noticed that UK Immigration at UK airports are now using scanners to read passports. The official simply holds the passport to a scanner and it is checked against several databases , resulting in a green or red light on the machine , process only takes 2-3 secs and is very quick.
And the answer to the question is .....?
