Visa exemption

ETA-IL: Electronic Travel Authorization

ETA-IL is required for the following nationals for short-term visits of a maximum stay of 90 days for tourism, business, short study programs (up to 90 days), and Culture/Sport (up to 30 days). From August 1, 2024, visitors from visa-exempt countries must obtain ETA-IL before entering Israel. The ETA-IL would cost 25 ILS and be valid for 2 years or until the passport expires.[3][4]

1 - German citizens born before January 1, 1928 need a visa which will be issued for free if one was not a member of the Nazi party or involved in crimes committed during the time of the Nazi Germany.[5]
2 - Visa exemption does not apply to official passport holders, e.g. American government officials. Russian official passport holders require confirmation from the Israeli government.
3 - Visa exemption only applies to holders of biometric passports.

Visa is not required for nationals of Egypt for stays up to 14 days if entering through Taba and visiting up to Beersheba only.[57]

Holders of Palestinian Authority passports can obtain their visa on arrival in order to continue their journey to the Palestinian territories.
Holders of a confirmation issued by the Israeli Ministry of Interior, traveling in a group of 10 or more, can obtain a visa on arrival (not applicable to nationals of Jordan).

Future changes
  •  Kosovo - Israel agreed on visa exemption (ETA-IL) for the citizens of Kosovo.[58]
Reciprocity

Israeli citizens can enter visa free or receive a free visa on arrival to all of the countries that Israel gives visa free access to except Australia. Previously, Israeli citizens seeking entry into the United States required a visa in advance, however Israel has been designated into the Visa Waiver Program on September 27, 2023[59] and Israeli citizens could begin applying on October 19th, 2023.[60]

In return Israel grants visa free access to most countries that gives Israelis visa free access but Israel requires a visa for passports from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Jordan (with confirmation), Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Maldives, Nicaragua, Samoa, Seychelles, Thailand, Turkey, and Uzbekistan.

Non-ordinary passports

In addition to countries whose citizens are visa-exempt (unless otherwise stated), holders of diplomatic and official/service category passports of Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Burkina Faso, China, Republic of the Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Gabon, Gambia, India, Kazakhstan, Madagascar, Moldova, Morocco, Myanmar,[61] Nicaragua, Niger, Sierra Leone, Thailand, Togo, Turkey and Venezuela, and of diplomatic passports of Armenia, Kenya, Liberia, Nepal, Nicaragua, Rwanda and Vietnam do not require a visa for a maximum stay of 3 months (unless otherwise stated).[62]

History

Israel and Liberia signed visa exemption agreement for diplomatic and service passports on 17 July and 3 August 1961, came into force on 1 November 1961. Date of cancellation is unknown.[64]

Israel and Tanganyika signed visa exemption agreement for diplomatic and service passports on 16 and 17 September 1963, came into force on 17 September 1963. Date of cancellation is unknown.[65]

Israeli passport stamps

Israeli visa
Gate Pass

Visitors with a passport stamp from Israel are not allowed to enter a number of countries because of the Arab League boycott of Israel.

Some countries, e.g. Austria, Canada, Germany, Russia, UK and the USA allow their citizens to hold two or more passports of their country to circumvent such travel restrictions, but some countries (including Austria and Germany) also restrict or forbid the holding of passports of two countries, i.e. dual citizenship.

However for the past several years, stamps are no longer used at Ben Gurion airport (since January 15, 2013) and also land border crossings with Jordan. Instead, entry and departure records are printed on small slips of paper, which include the name of the traveller, the photo read from the epassport, the date, the visa status, and other details.

The slips also include a 2D barcode which is used as a Gate Pass[68] to pass through the gate out of the passport control hall.

E-Visa

The Israeli Population and Immigration Authority plans to introduce an E-Visa for foreigners from countries that require a visa in advance and can't apply for ETA-IL.[69] The Israeli Population and Immigration Authority plans an E-Visa pilot in which India should be the first country in the pilot.[70]

Confirmation required

Holders of national and official passports of the following countries require a confirmation from the Israeli Foreign Ministry before a tourist visa is issued.[57]

1 - Only for ordinary passport holders.
2 - Except for stays up to 14 days if entering through Taba and visiting up to Beersheba only when visa is not required.
3 - Only for official passport holders.
