Thanks a lot.
I will not leave the airport, I will just spend few hours there.


Transit Visa is not required if you are spending few hours in the airport as a result of stop over.

Transit visa is only required if you intend to spend some time (a few days or weeks) in the country and you will be going to town

You need a transit visa to land in Dublin. That is the fact. You can only use Turkish airline if the transit is in Turkey itself

Please I really need your reply 🙏
If you were traveling to a Caribbean countries like Jamaica, Bahamas, etc, or Asian country, you would need a transit visa but since you are going to Scotland UK which is a next door neighbor to Dublin Ireland, you won't need it cos they know that where you are going is almost the same with their own country Ireland, so they know you can't terminate your journey to UK in Dublin, that doesn't make any sense you know

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

-Please get yourself a decent international travel passport. Nigerian passport is for leaving or entering Nigeria (to avoid their poor attempt at issuing a visa).

As an Aviator, I can authoritatively say you don't need a Transit Visa. Just limit your movement to the Airport. If your Transit hours is within 24hours, you're good to go. Journey mercy.

If you plan to stay at the airport, you don't need one. Without your transit visa, you won't be allowed to leave the airport.

During my time, I booked Qatar Airways, initial route was from Lagos to Doha, Doha to Dallas, Texas, then from Dallas to my destination which is Midland, Texas.

As a sharp guy, I did my transit visa which enabled me to tour Doha and see how beautiful it is.

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.

https://www.irishimmigration.ie/at-the-border/transit-including-transfer-visa-advice/

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

I later used British Airways. It has just a stopover at Heathrow and then to Scotland.

Why would you call someone asking a question "Mumu"? In my dialect and culture, it is said that "Anyone who asks questions, never misses his way"... I hope you're intelligent enough to know everything in the world. This person you called a Mumu² may be 1,000X better than you.

May God not allow ignorant foolishness and ego block me from learning.

It depends on how long your stopover is..
You may or may not need any visa regardless of whether you remained at the airpot or not.

I really don't understand why Turkish Airlines will route a flight going to Scotland UK through Dublin.

First the Hub for Turkish Airlines is Istanbul and they have lots of flights going to UK daily. Why didn't they take you to LHR, LGW or STN, from where they can easily get you to Glasgow.

Bringing that Aircraft from Istanbul to Dublin, for onward Journey to Glasgow will be a big loss to Turkish Airlines, as they won't get enough passengers in Dublin to fill up the flight from Dublin to Glasgow. Ryan Air flies a round trip from Dublin to Glasgow for €65, a price Turkish Airlines won't fly for a one way ticket on that route.

Aer Lingus, Ryan Air and British Airways will make that trip way cheaper than Turkish Airlines and more persons will prefer them.

But in any case, if they route your flight through Dublin, then you need a transit visa to be on the safe side

How I wish Irish immigration think this way you think.

Let me burst your bubble. I live in the Republic of Ireland and to just go into Northern Ireland by road which doesn't have any physical border and on the same island of Ireland, i will need a UK visa to be on the safe side. So perish that thought

Very good choice I must say. Did your inquiries make you opt for British Airways? Did you find out that you would need a transit visa? Let people following this thread know for future reference. Enjoy Scotland!

Turkish Airline doesn't take you to Glasgow when they get to Dublin, there's usually a connecting flight like Aer Lingus that does that which you would have already booked for and it's in your ticket

Only if you need to exit the airport for any reason, otherwise, there is a specific direction for transit passengers which ushers you to your waiting area irrespective of the transit timing. Then there is another route for passengers arriving at Dubling (those requires a visa).

This is false information. Transit Visas don't even allow you leave the airport. Stop the misinformation
