Ireland Issues Travel Advisory for Transgender Citizens Visiting US
Ireland has joined the UK, Germany, Denmark, and Finland in updating its travel advisory for citizens visiting the United States. The updates warn transgender travelers that U.S. ESTA and visa applications require the biological sex assigned at birth, advising those with differing gender markers on their passports to contact the U.S. Embassy. This follows a series of executive orders by President Trump restricting transgender rights. Several other European nations are also expected to issue similar travel advisories. Failure to comply with U.S. entry requirements may lead to detention.
