<div id="ygrps-yiv-2011311149"><blockquote><span title="ireply">&gt; What type of border controls are in place on the IEUK border?  I<br/>
&gt; flew from Dublin to Birmingham, England (BHX) last spring and there<br/>
&gt; was no customs or immigration to pass through when arriving in the<br/>
&gt; UK.  It was just like arriving on a domestic flight.<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>In relation to the &quot;land border&quot;, during the troubles, a lot of minor<br/>
cross-border roads were closed, but most have beeen reopened in the past ten<br/>
years. The security presense has also been reduced a lot.<br/>
<br/>
While in theory no passport is required to pass between Ireland the UK, in<br/>
the past few years, they have started checking papers, mainly to control<br/>
illegal immigrants.</div>
