If you are travelling internationally, a valid passport is normally required. For some countries your passport will need to be valid for at least six months after your intended return, and you may also need a visa.
Before travelling you should always check your destination country's entry requirements and allow enough time to renew your passport and/or apply for a visa at the relevant embassy or consulate.
Tip:
Passports do get lost and it takes time to get a replacement. You can make life easier by taking photocopies of your passport with you. It may also be worth carrying additional photographic ID separate from your passport.
If your passport is lost or stolen you must report it to the Passport Office or your nearest Irish Embassy or Consulate.
