Transit Dublin Airport

It's a small airport, so what do you want to know?

I haven't, but people who have left comments on this site:

Lots of other useful info.
and here's maps and terminal info from the airport people themselves:

Hope it's a good trip! (how long is the transit time...?)

Yes. Glad to have been of assistance and able to answer your question.

I will meet a Filipino friend who does not require a transit visa through Dublin airport arriving T2. We intend to travel on together to Morocco as he does not need a visa to visit there. I know that Irish immigration can be a pain with questions and asking for documents . I do not want a problem . The flight is a Ryan Air to Morocco and the boarding card can only be got at the Ryan Air desk for a gate in T1 . What is the procedure at immigration? I need to leave time for this transit in case of delays and problems there say 5 hours .

Ryanair are well-known for insisting that their passengers check-in online and print their own boarding passes. So I am baffled by your comment about the need to get to the Ryanair desk: do you perhaps mean that he needs to go there to drop off his checked luggage?

I suggest that you look very carefully at Irish immigration requirements, and look out for the difference between 'transit' and 'direct airside transit'. Someone whose transit involves passing Immigration in order to check in and/or collect and drop off checked luggage is NOT undertaking a direct airside transit.

I'm with Voyager. If your friend is going through passport control they are not a transit passenger if they pass through customs they are treated as an arriving passenger.

The friend may have to go to check in desk to get their ticket appropriately stamped (as well as drop off bags) as being legitimately able to travel. Some Kiwi friends of mine checked in online with Ryanair, went through the auto gate at LGW (okay, not Dub) and then were turned back at boarding gate because their ticket wasn't stamped at the desk.

Thanks Mark. Just to be precise (because little details make all the difference with this kind of thing): what matters is passing Immigration (where they check passports) rather than passing Customs (where they look at what you are carrying). At most airports you need to pass Immigration to get to the baggage claim, but can often then proceed to an onward flight without going through Customs.

The UK Immigration Rules (and it is probable that the position is similar for all EU countries) distinguish between Transit, which may involve entering the country and staying for up to 24 hours, and Direct Airside Transit, which does not involve passing Immigration. This distinction could make an enormous difference.

Yes RyanAir stamp the boarding pass and check if you require a visa to visit the country . I just wonder the logic of allowing a passenger to pass into the main airport area and enter without a visa. I think immigration would ask for onward details and who you are visiting there. They might even escort you to the flight.
