UK-Ireland Visa Deal

On the 6^th of October 2014 the Home Secretary signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Republic of Ireland.

This will allow visitors from India and China to travel more easily between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland on a single visit visa.

The scheme will start in China by the end of October 2014 and in India soon afterwards. It is expected that more than 10,000 visitors from China and India will use the scheme.
