I am a non-EU/EEA citizen and need to complete a visa check. How do I do this?

All non-EU/EEA citizens must have their travel documents checked and stamped at the Ryanair Visa/Document check desk before going through airport security. Your boarding pass will display the information for routes that require mandatory Visa/Document checks.

Non-EU/EEA citizens must do this to ensure compliance with immigration authority rules. We reserve the right to refuse travel if there is any failure to comply with this requirement.

Citizens of any of the countries listed below may complete passport verification during the check-in process via our app instead of at the visa check desk.
