Visa exemption

Ordinary passports (ETA-IL)

Holders of ordinary passports of the following countries do not need a visa for Israel for tourism, business or to study for up to 90 days, or culture or sport activities for up to 30 days.

From 1 January 2025, they must obtain an electronic travel authorization (ETA-IL) before travelling to Israel. The ETA-IL costs ILS 25 and is valid for 2 years or until the passport expires, whichever occurs first.[1][3]

  • – Nationals of Egypt do not need a visa for stays of up to 14 days if entering through Taba and visiting up to Beersheba only.[3]
  • – Nationals of Turkey need a visa but may apply for touristic visa free of charge at Israeli diplomatic missions.[3][93]

  • Kazakhstan – On 19 August 2024, Israel and Kazakhstan discussed the possibility of establishing a visa exemption agreement.[94]
  • Seychelles – On 11 January 2024, Israel and Seychelles signed a visa exemption agreement.[95]

Reciprocity

See also: Visa requirements for Israeli citizens

The visa free policy of Israel is based on bilateral agreements which allows the entry of foreign visitors to Israel and Israeli visitors to countries which are counterparts of the bilateral agreements. Israel gave citizens of the United States (in 1955) and Australia (in 1964) a unilateral visa free to visit Israel. From 19 October 2023, citizens of Israel are allowed to visit the United States without a visa.[96]

Therefore nationals of Israel can travel without a visa to all countries whose nationals can travel without a visa to Israel, except Australia.

Some countries have decided to give unilateral visa free to Israeli nationals in order to boost tourism other reasons. Therefore Israel grants a visa exemption for nationals of all countries that grant a visa exemption or electronic travel authorization (ETA) for nationals of Israel, except Angola, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Central African Republic, Kazakhstan, Kiribati, Kyrgyzstan, Nicaragua, Thailand, Turkey, Uzbekistan, and Vatican City.

Non-ordinary passports

Holders of diplomatic and service passports of all visa-exempt countries (listed above) do not need a visa to Israel, except those of Australia, Belarus, Dominica, Russia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Taiwan, United States, and holders of service passports of South Africa.[3]

In addition, holders of diplomatic and service passports of Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Burkina Faso, China, Gabon, Gambia, Guyana, India, Ivory Coast, Kazakhstan, Madagascar, Morocco, Nicaragua, Republic of the Congo, Sierra Leone, Thailand, Togo, Turkey, Vatican City, and holders of diplomatic passports of Armenia, Kenya, Liberia, Nepal, Rwanda, and Vietnam do not need a visa to Israel.[3]

History

In 1952 the Knesset passed the law "The entry law to Israel" which describes the first official entry policy of Israel. The law permits four types of visas for foreigners, transit visa (5 days), visit visa (3 months), temporary resident visa (3 years), and permanent visa.[97] During the 50s' discussions on visa free took place as in 1955 the Israeli government decided to exempt visa fees from visitors from United States, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, and Luxemburg to boost the early tourism sector.[98][99]

Visa exempt countries in 1966 Ordinary passports: Uruguay, Iceland, Argentina, USA, Brazil, Denmark, Switzerland, UK, Liechtenstein, Norway, Finland, Chile, France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, The Netherlands, and Luxemburg. Diplomatic and service passports: Austria, Italy, El Salvador, Belgium, Dahomey, The Netherlands, Switzerland, The Philippines, Brazil, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Tanganyika, Luxemburg, Liberia, Niger, France, Colombia, Costa Rica, Thailand, Togo, Honduras, Sierra Leone, and Congo Leopoldville.[98][100][101][102]

1967 Israel started to consider the visa exemption of German diplomatic and service passports as Germany promised not to allow Germans with Nazi backgrounds to use the visa exemption. In the same year Israel also exempted German passport from visa. [103][104][25] Israel signed visa exemption agreement for ordinary passports with the United Kingdom, Lichtenstein, and Switzerland in 1967.[103][105] For the international tourism year of 1967 Israel called in the UN to other countries to extend their visa exemptions for tourist to boost tourism and the share of cultures.[103][106]

The agents must check the tourists' background, apply at least 10 days before their arrival (30 days for nationals of Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Malaysia, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, South Sudan or Tunisia; or 3 months for nationals of Eritrea, considered in exceptional circumstances), provide their itinerary, pay a fee of ₪95 per group plus ₪35 per tourist, and deposit a bank guarantee of ₪100,000 (₪200,000 for nationals of Armenia, Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka, Turkey, Uganda or Uzbekistan).[140][141]

Israeli passport stamps

Visitors with an Israeli passport stamp are not allowed to enter a number of countries because of the Arab League boycott of Israel. Some countries, such as Austria, Canada, Germany, Russia, United Kingdom and United States, allow their nationals to hold two or more passports of their country to circumvent such travel restrictions, but some of these countries also restrict or forbid the holding of passports of more than one country (multiple citizenship).

However, since 15 January 2013, Israel no longer stamps passports at airports and land border crossings with Jordan. Instead, the entry or departure record is printed on a small paper card, called an electronic gate pass, which includes the traveler's passport data, date, visa status, and other details. The card also includes a barcode which is used to pass through the gate out of the passport control hall.[142]

Accepted travel documents

Israel accepts passports of all member states and observer states of the United Nations (including their territories), Kosovo and Taiwan.[3][143] Passports of Abkhazia, Northern Cyprus, Somaliland, South Ossetia, Transnistria and Western Sahara are not accepted.

Visitors without an accepted passport must obtain a laissez-passer with a visa from an Israeli diplomatic mission.[144]

The Haudenosaunee passport is a travel document with limited recognition issued by the Iroquois nation in Canada and the United States.[145] For the 2018 World Lacrosse Championship, which was hosted by Israel, the Israeli government accepted the Haudenosaunee passports of the Iroquois team after communicating with the Canadian government.[146][147]
