Anyone have more information about Border Runs? I’m supposed to stay in Ireland for 6 months as a US citizen but the tourist visa is up at 90 days. Do I need to leave Ireland, EU? I know that it doesn’t always work but just wondering if anyone has any experience with it.

In reply to Priyank. US and EU passports have got to be the easiest to carry in terms of visas. I'm sure Indian passports get much more scrutiny.

Ah border runs… The only border run I did was to Egyptian border when I was in Israel… I stayed there for hours hoping (and begging) that someone would know how to deal with Indian passports (for entry to Sinai peninsula) but alas. Otherwise, I have to plan my visas months in advance. 🙂
