The rest of the trip for an Israeli passport, from the arrival form to customs and travelling with children: Ireland entry requirements.
The details for an Israeli passport.
Irish Immigration nationality table (checked 11 Oct 2026): visa not required. Ireland is not in Schengen: time in Ireland does not count toward the Schengen 90/180 limit and EES/ETIAS do not apply. The immigration officer decides the length of stay (up to 3 months) and can refuse entry; carry proof of funds, accommodation and onward travel.
How long it must be valid.
Visa applicants: passport valid at least 6 months after the planned departure from Ireland. Visa-exempt visitors: Irish immigration publishes no minimum; carry a passport valid for the whole stay (airlines may require more). British citizens do not legally need a passport, but carriers may require one.
