As a reminder, the Marom Electronic Travel Authorization — Israel (ETA-IL) is now in effect, and all tourists and business travelers from visa-exempt countries must obtain an ETA-IL form approval before arriving in Israel.
Key Points:
Additional Information: The system is designed to streamline the entry process for visa waiver nationals seeking short-term visits for purposes other than work, volunteering or studying. Once approved, the status is valid for up to two years and allows for stays of up to 90 days maximum per visit, with multiple-entry capabilities.
The online portal will still require individuals to obtain approval prior to their travel and does not replace the discretion of border control officials. Applications must be submitted electronically at least 72 hours before the expected entry date. The system is designed to provide instant approval to eligible travelers.
The government is launching the new system to modernize its entry procedures and provide a more seamless travel experience for visitors. In addition, the new system will attempt to strengthen security measures while continuing to effectively facilitate legitimate travel.
