Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress she has made on the detailed implementation of the proposed British-Irish visa scheme.
This question was answered on 4th August 2014
On 16 June 2014 the Home Secretary announced the introduction of the British-Irish Visa Scheme. From Autumn 2014, Chinese and Indian nationals with a visit visa issued in China and India respectively will be able to use an Irish visa to travel to the UK and a British visa to travel to Ireland without the need for a separate visa. This is underpinned by a range of detailed implementation activity.
