Do I need a visa to visit Israel?
Yes, travelers from some countries need a visa to enter Israel, while others may need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA-IL). As of January 1, 2025, all visa-exempt travelers, including those from the US and EU countries, will need an approved ETA-IL before traveling to Israel
