General Questions about the Israel ETA-IL

The Israel ETA, also known as ETA-IL, has been introduced by the Israel government in January 2025.

As of 2025, all visitors from visa-exempt countries now need to follow a quick and simple online application process to gain authorization to enter the country. The travel document they receive digitally is what is known as the ETA-IL.

Short-term travelers (up to 90 days) from eligible countries require a ETA-IL. The countries eligible for the ETA-IL are the same ones which prior to 2025 did not require a visa to enter Israel.
