Do I need a visa for Israel?

Most Western nationalities (US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, etc.) can enter Israel visa-free for up to 90 days. No pre-application is needed.

Will my passport get stamped in Israel?

Israel has not stamped passports on request since 2013. Immigration officers issue a separate entry card instead of stamping your passport.

Can I enter Arab countries after visiting Israel?

Most Arab countries no longer refuse entry based on Israeli visits. However, check specific requirements for countries you plan to visit after Israel.

Israel's Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA-IL) is a pre-travel permit being phased in for visa-exempt nationalities. Check the Israeli government website for current implementation status.

Introduction

Israel attracts tourists for its religious sites (Jerusalem's Old City, Bethlehem, Nazareth, Masada), beaches (Tel Aviv, Eilat), desert landscapes (Negev) and vibrant food scene. The Israel Population and Immigration Authority (PIBA) manages entry. Ben Gurion International Airport (TLV) near Tel Aviv is the main entry point.

Visa-Free Entry

Citizens of 90+ countries, including the US, UK, all EU member states, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and many others, may enter Israel visa-free for up to 90 days. No prior application is required — entry permission is given at the border. Note: Israel may refuse entry at its discretion; travelers may be asked about purpose of visit and accommodation.

ETA-IL (Coming Phase-In)

Israel has announced an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA-IL) similar to the US ESTA, which will eventually be required for visa-free nationalities before travel. As of 2026, check the Israeli government site for the current implementation status.
