Ireland is selective but not restrictive, admitting 82 of the world's 198 other passports without a prior visa; its own passport ranks #14 with 164 open destinations. Both sit in Europe, where regional agreements often shape entry rules. The reverse direction is smoother: Ireland passport holders get visa-free for Kosovo.
