Travel Essentials
SDR: CEST · DUB: IST
When it's 6:00 PM in Santander, it's 5:00 PM in Dublin.
Spanish passport holders enter Ireland freely as EU citizens. You can use either a Spanish passport or national ID card. There is no visa requirement and no time limit on your stay. Ireland is an EU member, so you have full rights to live and work there.
Ireland is not in the Schengen area, so flights from Spain do pass through Irish immigration on arrival. The check is quick for EU nationals. Just show your passport or ID card. No stamp is given to EU citizens.
If you plan to stay in Ireland longer than 3 months, you do not need to register with immigration (unlike non-EU citizens who must register with the Garda National Immigration Bureau). EU citizens just need a PPS number (Personal Public Service Number) to work or access services. Apply at your local Intreo centre with your passport and proof of address.
Airlink 747 coaches depart from outside both terminals every 10–15 minutes to the city centre (€7 one-way). Dublin Bus routes 16 and 41 are cheaper (€3.10 with Leap card) but slower, taking 45–70 minutes. Taxis are metered; expect €25–40 to the city centre depending on traffic and time of day.
Rental car desks are located in both terminal buildings with a large multi-storey car park adjacent. For north-side city destinations, the airport is relatively quick via the Port Tunnel; south-side journeys add considerable time during peak hours.
Temperate oceanic climate with mild, wet weather year-round. Summers (June–August) are cool and frequently overcast, with highs of 17–21°C. Winters are mild (3–9°C) with frequent rain but rarely frost or snow. Fog can affect operations in autumn and winter, particularly early mornings.
Wind is the primary disruption risk. Atlantic storms from October through March can cause ground stops and diverts. Pack a waterproof layer regardless of season; dry, sunny days occur but rarely in long stretches.
