Irish passport holders need an eVisa to enter Turkey. Apply at evisa.gov.tr before travel. The single-entry eVisa costs $60 (or equivalent in EUR), allows stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period, and is processed instantly or within minutes. Multiple-entry is standard. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the entry date with at least one blank page. No visa on arrival option exists; the eVisa must be obtained before you reach the airport.
The eVisa application requires a passport number, travel dates, and payment by credit/debit card. No supporting documents, invitation letters, or hotel bookings are needed. Print the eVisa or save it on your phone. At Turkish immigration, the eVisa is verified electronically, so paper is a backup. Extensions beyond 90 days require applying at the local Goc Idaresi (Migration Management) office before the visa expires, with a fee of about TRY 1,500 (roughly $45).
Direct flights from Dublin to Istanbul run about 4 hours on Turkish Airlines and Aer Lingus. Antalya and Dalaman have seasonal charter service. Turkey uses the Turkish lira (TRY), trading at roughly 34 TRY per $1 with frequent fluctuation. Euros and dollars are accepted at hotels and tourist shops but at poor rates; use ATMs for lira. No mandatory vaccinations for Irish arrivals. Istanbul has two airports: Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European side and Sabiha Gokcen (SAW) on the Asian side. IST is the main hub.
