Any person issued with a deportation order is required to remove themselves from the State within a specified timeframe and remain outside the State.

A person who is the subject of a deportation order may be required to do any or all of the following under the Immigration Act 1999:

• present himself or herself to such member of the Garda Síochána or immigration officer at such date, time and place as may be specified;
• produce any travel document, passport, travel ticket or other document in his or her possession required for the purpose of such deportation to such member of the Garda Síochána or immigration officer if specified to do so;
• co-operate in any way necessary to enable a member of the Garda Síochána or immigration officer to obtain a travel document, passport, travel ticket or other document required for the purpose of such deportation;
• reside or remain in a particular district or place in the State pending removal from the State;
• report to a specified Garda Síochána station or immigration officer at specified intervals pending removal from the State;
• notify such member of the Garda Síochána or immigration officer as may be specified in the notice as soon as possible of any change of address.

A non-EEA national subject to a Deportation Order in Ireland cannot legally enter the UK from Ireland without the permission of the UK Authorities. While some non-EEA nationals can benefit from reciprocal immigration arrangements and visa waivers, these arrangements are only available to persons who hold an immigration permission.

Ireland and the United Kingdom (UK) share a long history and common interest in the effective operation of the CTA and work together to prevent any abuses of the CTA. There is significant operational cooperation between the Gardaí, UK Border Force, UK policing services and the Police Service of Northern Ireland in relation to both immigration and criminal matters.
