Last year I bought a ticket from Toronto to london via dublin i was not allowed to board due to my Nigerian passport. Dublin is not part of UK so you need a visa

Your question has been answered above.
Since you are using Turkish air, better get their visa and do stopover for goodtime, even if it is for few days.
Omo, the enjoyment there is the highest, you will have a great culinary experience. Besides the hotels and resorts are quite cheap compared to UK, Dubai etc.

Frankly, I was in the same situation a few days back. I called Turkish Airline and they said that my friend and children that I booked a flight for to Glasgow from Abuja en route Dublin, would require a transit visa in Ireland. I even went as far as calling the Ireland Embassy here in Nigeria and they sent this.

Let us know how it goes after your inquiries.

We later rerouted sha, but it was at great cost. And FYI, Dublin is not in the UK

If you did, don't you think it would be one of the airline's requirements?

You can educate him rather than calling him or her mumu. We just need to change our approach towards our fellow country men. I don't think he or she committed any crime in asking such question.

Call the airline and ask them, only them not people on NL.

See how you have exposed yourself. If you now have problems with the immigration or during your stay in the UK you wouldn't remember you were the one that sold yourself to your family who aren't happy for your success.

Hello fam.
I will be traveling to the UK soon (Scotland precisely) and I intend to book a flight (Turkish Airline) that has a stopover at Istanbul and Dublin.
Do I need a transit visa to go through Dublin?

Please I really need your reply 🙏

You will need Transit Visa. Same applies to all flights with stopover anywhere in Europe (if your only passport is Nigerian). The flights may look cheap but don't fall into that trap if you can't process your transit visa in time.

The stop over at Istanbul is for change of plane to be Abel to carry more passengers but the one at Dublin is for refuel. A lot of international airline does stop over at Dublin eg Ethiopia. At Dublin, you wouldn’t need to step out of the plane.

Yes, if you're Nigerian.

Dear nairalanders. Anyone who wishes to travel to America or Canada should consider departing through cotonou or Ghana. Rates are amazingly cheap when you travel in either of these countries to those destinations. Try it and thank me later. This country, Helen! If you don't go out, you may think certain things are a norm.
Who come do us like this? Thanks to my friend who jami si. See as the airport in Benin Republic was seething with nigerians 😃 . Everyone was in a rush even when there was no need to rush.

But do not leave the airport please...


Just hang around and appreciate what God has done for you.

You will require a visa if going to the Uk via Dublin! You will need another airline or a reroute! This will cost you extra money.

Re: My Flight Has A Stopover At Dublin, Do I Need A Transit Visa? by JogahBonito(m): 5:53pm On Jul 21, 2023
Yes, you do. I flew through Dublin earlier this month and I needed one. Sadly, I didn't have a transit visa but the immigration official was gracious enough to issue me a visa warning (usually a stamp on your passport) and allow me to fly onward to my destination. He said he would have sent me back if he wanted to treat me the same way he had done to others. So to avoid any complications, use another city/country as a stopover instead of Dublin.

The same thing happened to me last year. I had to book an expensive British Airways on the spot at Pearson Airport because I needed to fly.

I learnt my lesson after that experience.
Re: My Flight Has A Stopover At Dublin, Do I Need A Transit Visa? by XPoseidon(m): 5:57pm On Jul 21, 2023
Yes you do. When you make two stopovers in different countries, you’re required to have a visa for one. Contact the airline to confirm their policy.

Op I guess you will need a transit visa. Why not reroute to any uk county then inst3ad of Dublin. I used to live in ireland sometimes back one of my trip I used british airways and I was checked at heathrow and my uk visa stamped just like any other person going to the uk despite I was going to Dublin. Then I connected flight to Ireland same will happen if you going from Dublin to uk
