U.S. bound passengers should allow time to complete U.S. Customs and Immigration forms prior to boarding a flight, as these documents are checked at Shannon Airport.
With the upgraded facilities at Shannon International Airport and a pre-immigration clearance service for passengers travelling to the US, you can be sure of a hassle free journey.
VAT Refund Facilities
This is a scheme whereby visitors to Ireland from outside the European Union who purchase goods to take home can benefit from a refund of VAT (value added tax). This can mean a reduction of 17.36% on the normal sale prices. There are two VAT Refund agencies at Shannon Airport.
