South African passport holder entering N Ireland via Dublin, almost denied entry

Upvote:2

The problem I see here is that South African passport holders do not require a visa to visit Ireland, but do require a visa to visit the UK. And as you know, there is (currently) no passport check at the land border between Ireland and Northern Ireland (which is part of the UK). I would wonder how and when your mother's visa would ever be checked for its validity by UK immigration. I doubt the Irish immigration officers have any obligation to check on behalf of UK immigration, so maybe that is what they were concerned about. Even though it all looks above board and proper, I am not sure it is their responsibility.
