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.

Passport Stamps & Entry to Arab Countries

Israel no longer stamps passports at request (since 2013). Israeli immigration officers typically stamp an entry card instead. However, some Arab countries may still question travelers about Israel visits. Check specific embassy requirements if you plan to visit Gulf states after Israel.

Required Documents

  • Valid passport (6+ months validity recommended)
  • Return or onward ticket
  • Accommodation details
  • Sufficient funds
  • Travel insurance (strongly recommended)

如何申请

  1. Check if your nationality is visa-exempt at Israel PIBA
  2. If visa-free: no pre-application needed — just arrive with valid passport, onward ticket and accommodation details
  3. If ETA-IL is active for your nationality: apply online before travel
  4. If a visa is required: apply at your nearest Israeli embassy

Always verify current visa rules on official government sites before travel.
