Do Irish passport holders need a visa for Israel?

Covers 11 passports and 80 destinations. Rules older than 30 days are flagged for re-check.

How this tool works

We read the official notice for each pair and record the date. Nothing here is generated; a pair with no written check is not shown.

ETA required. Irish passport holders need a valid ETA-IL to enter Israel.

Visitors of all ages from visa-exempt countries, including Ireland, must have a valid ETA-IL on arrival. It costs 25 NIS and approval allows multiple entries for up to 2 years. A new passport or a change of name, gender or country of citizenship requires a new authorization.
