Israel to Ireland visa requirements

No visa needed. Israeli ordinary passport holders can enter the Republic of Ireland visa-free for tourism and short visits of up to 90 days. Ireland is not in the Schengen Area, so ETIAS does not apply. Israeli citizens holding an ordinary passport do not need a visa to visit Ireland for tourism or other short stays of up to 90 days. Ireland sets its own visa policy and places Israel on its visa-exempt (non-visa-required) list, with full reciprocity. Crucially, although Ireland is an EU member state, it is NOT part of the Schengen Area, so the new EU ETIAS travel authorisation does NOT apply to Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland has no electronic travel authorisation (ETA) scheme of its own. No advance application is required; travellers simply arrive and are granted permission to land by an immigration officer at the port of entry. One important caveat: from 25 February 2026 the UK requires an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), and Northern Ireland is part of the UK. A trip confined to the Republic of Ireland needs no ETA, but anyone crossing into Northern Ireland during the visit needs a UK ETA. The permission granted on arrival is normally up to 90 days; the actual length is at the discretion of the immigration officer based on the traveller's stated purpose and supporting evidence (return ticket, accommodation, funds).
