Travelling to the EU with firearms
There is a minor change if a NI resident is sponsoring an EU visitor travelling to NI. An application should still be made to PSNI for a visitor permit like now, but the visitor will not be required to produce a valid EFP. Visitor permits issued before the transition period ends will stay valid until they expire.
If you have any further queries regarding your EFP or travelling with firearms, please contact the BASC NI office on 02892 605050, or email nire@basc.org.uk.
