Travel to N.Ireland by plane - visa expired, MN1 in process

[RDeen25]

Hello Community!

I'm currently on ILR (approved in April 2017) and my wife has just extended her T2 - PBS Dependent Visa for a further year (before she is eligible for ILR herself) however I did not extend my son's T2 Dependent visa as I've applied for his Naturalisation in May 2017. He has a valid non-UK passport but the dependent visa is expiring in August, and we want to travel to Norther Ireland in September by plane.

Will there be a problem in doing so? Technically, this is travel within the UK but I'm conscious that airport immigration checks might cause an issue.

Please advise.

Thanks.
Deen

Northern Ireland is part of the UK!!

Yes, I know Northern Ireland is part of the UK but I'm asking the question as my son will need to clear airport immigration with an expired (dependent) visa.

There is no immigration control, part of the same country so to speak.

It is republic of Ireland that has immigration control.

Not for Brits, Channel Islanders and Manxmen though!!

Hi All,

I haven't still resolved this - so just to be safe, I'm not going to book my break in N. Ireland and will wait on my son's passport to arrive before we book any flights.

Thanks for all your input and time

Cheers,

Go to Scotland or Wales, both very beautiful as is most of England.

I've already visited Scotland and Wales ... only N. Ireland left!
