Hello!
First off I am a US citizen.
I am flying from NYC to Dublin with a two hour layover then a connecting flight to London Heathrow. When I land will I be going through passport border control in Dublin? If so, will I then have no passport border control in London? Just trying to simply figure out if I will have to go through passport border control in London. Don't care about customs for I will not have any checked bags.
Thank you!
Okay thank you! So I will only have to present a passport in Dublin and not London, correct?
Ireland and UK have a Common Area Travel policy whereby there is no Immigration for travel between the 2 countries.
Only partially true. There is no immigration between Ireland and the UK but Americans go through Irish immigration when traveling from the UK. (I have traveled both ways a few times.)
When you arrive at Heathrow you just go about your business. No border check.
Even with just carry on bags, you do have to go through customs but you probably won't be stopped. Unless you have something to declare, just walk through the green door. (I'm assuming green instead of blue since the UK is no longer in the EU.)

We're still in it, we haven't left yet.

The blue channel is for EU arrivals only!

Actually, you left a couple of months ago. Even if EU rules still apply during the transition period.
Ireland considers the CTA only to be applicable to Irish and British Passport citizens, who hence do not need a passport to travel between the two countries. So on entry to Ireland for other nationalities can require going through an immigration procedure - although nothing is in place on the open land border.
And that would include entering any Schengen country from another?
