The rules for travel to Israel have changed

From 1st January 2025 visitors will not be able to enter Israel without a permit or visa.

All travelers to Israel must have a valid visa or ETA-IL approval before they start their journey. 

Starting from 1st January 2025, visitors from visa-exempt countries are required to obtain an ETA-IL (Electronic Travel Authorization). 

If you are eligible, obtaining an ETA-IL is a simple and quick process. 

Note: Israeli citizens or holders of an Israeli identity number do not need to apply for an ETA-IL. 

Visitors from countries for which a visa is required for travel to Israel must still obtain a visa as before.

The application process is very simple and the site is in English.

You can get a permit using this link:  https://swiy.co/israelentry

The application fee is 25 NIS

An approved ETA-IL, indicates that you are allowed to travel to Israel and stay for up to 90 days per visit. 

The permit that you will receive will be valid for multiple trips over a period of up to two years (starting the date that your application has been approved) or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. 

Applications may be submitted at any time prior to travel to Israel. You should receive a reply within 24 to 72 hours (sometimes within a few minutes).

The Population and Immigration Authority recommends that travel authorization applications be submitted at least 72 hours prior to any booking of flight tickets, hotel rooms and other similar expanses that are related your planned travel to Israel.
