Common Travel Area

The United Kingdom, its Crown Dependencies and Ireland are part of the Common Travel Area.

No ID required for travel by land.
Only Photographic ID required for travel by air or sea.
Occasionally, there are checks on coaches and trains from Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland.
British visas don't enable travel to Ireland for people without agreement with Ireland, and vice versa.
Although the 2 sovereign nations out of the 5 states are members of the European Union, they aren't full members of the Schengen Area, so Schengen Visas aren't valid in the area either, and ferries to these countries from the Schengen Area have Passport/ID Card controls. However, they are involved in police and judicial cooperation.
