Sounds like a great plan Foreign governments are obviously reluctant to take a stance of their own regarding the passport card which I find strange not least seeing as when it comes to Swedish ID cards admittedly not as powerful a document the CEFTA states and Georgia explicitly accept it even though Swedish border police will not allow you to leave directly for a non EU EFTA country with one Hence the funny situation that the route Sweden Romania Serbia Sweden can be flown but not Sweden Serbia Romania Sweden In contrast here foreign countries seem to go by this possible artificial restriction by the Irish government which is what I find highly contradictory
