IF the TC is a 'REAL' TC ( TC parentage - entitling them to a RoC passport - no visa is required - in fact they can get a RoC ID card and travel to the UK on that ..no VISA



Many TCs do this - it doesn't mean they 'recognise' the GC regime - it is convenient for EU travel

Click on this link for confirmation .. a TC - without RoC ID card / passport - DOES need a visitor visa
