Irish citizens need a visa to visit Egypt, and the most common option is the Egypt eVisa, which must be obtained before departure. Egypt also provides a Visa on Arrival option for Irish citizens at selected ports of entry. However, applying for the eVisa in advance is more convenient and helps avoid delays at the airport.
