The Benefits of Having an Irish Passport Travel Card

Traveling across Europe has never been easier for Irish citizens thanks to the Irish Passport Travel Card. This compact, credit-card-sized document serves as a secure proof of Irish citizenship and allows hassle-free travel within the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland, as well as countries like Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and the United Kingdom.

The card is valid for five years or for the duration of your passport book, whichever is shorter, providing a long-lasting, convenient travel solution. At a cost of €35 online, or €25 if applied together with a passport book, it’s a small investment for greater ease and security while traveling.

‍

One of the key advantages of the Passport Travel Card is the convenience it offers. It can simplify border checks, serve as a recognized form of identification, and reduce the need to carry a full passport book for shorter trips.

‍

To apply, you can easily use the official Passport Online service, and we make the process even simpler by providing official DFA-approved passport photos. With our unique online code, your application is streamlined and hassle-free. Plus, with over 200 locations across Ireland, getting your photo taken is quick and convenient.

Whether you travel frequently or occasionally, the Irish Passport Travel Card offers security, convenience, and peace of mind, making it a smart choice for every Irish citizen.
