Israel visa for Irish citizens

Irish citizens planning a trip to Israel will find the process streamlined, as an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is required prior to arrival, facilitating a maximum stay of 90 days. While the standard tourist ETA typically costs €25, it's crucial to note that this particular visa type is the only one available for short visits, with only two options generally presented. Navigating the vibrant streets of Tel Aviv is a rewarding experience, though familiarizing yourself with basic Hebrew greetings like "Shalom" can enhance interactions, especially outside major tourist hubs where English may be less common, and remember that Israel operates on a different time zone, GMT+2.
