What Is the ETA-IL?

The ETA-IL (Electronic Travel Authorization for Israel) is a mandatory electronic entry permit introduced by the Population and Immigration Authority (PIBA) on January 1, 2025. It applies to citizens of approximately 96 visa-exempt countries who previously could enter Israel without any prior authorization. The ETA-IL is valid for 2 years from the date of issue (or until passport expiry, whichever comes first) and allows stays of up to 90 days per visit. It costs 25 ILS (Israeli New Shekel) and must be obtained before boarding your flight or arriving at any Israeli border crossing.

Understanding the ETA-IL System

Who Needs an ETA-IL?

The ETA-IL is required for citizens of 96 visa-exempt countries planning to visit Israel. This includes travelers from the European Union, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and many other nations. Even though these countries enjoy visa-free agreements with Israel, the new electronic authorization is mandatory for all air arrivals since January 1, 2025. Children and infants must each hold their own individual ETA-IL.

ETA-IL vs. Traditional Visa

Unlike a traditional visa, the ETA-IL is obtained entirely online — there is no need to visit an embassy or consulate. Applications are typically processed within 72 hours, compared to weeks or even months for a standard visa. The ETA-IL costs just 25 ILS (approximately €7), remains valid for 2 years, and permits multiple entries. A traditional visa, on the other hand, often involves in-person interviews, extensive paperwork, and significantly higher fees.

What the ETA-IL Covers

Your approved ETA-IL allows multiple entries into Israel over a 2-year period, with each stay lasting up to 90 days. It is recognized at all official entry points, including Ben Gurion International Airport, Ramon Airport, and all land border crossings. The authorization is linked electronically to your passport — no physical stamp or printed document is required at the border.

Incredibly smooth process. I submitted my application on a Monday evening and had my ETA-IL approved by Wednesday morning. The status notifications kept me informed every step of the way.

Preparing for Your Trip to Israel

Essential travel tips to make the most of your visit.

Best Time to Visit

Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) offer the most pleasant weather, with mild temperatures ideal for exploring outdoor sites. Summer can be extremely hot, especially in the Negev Desert and the Dead Sea region.

Currency & Payment Tips

The Israeli New Shekel (ILS) is the official currency. Credit cards are widely accepted in cities and tourist areas, but carry some cash for markets, small shops, and rural areas. ATMs are readily available throughout the country.

Safety & Security

Israel maintains high security standards at airports, public venues, and transportation hubs. Expect bag checks at shopping malls and train stations. Download the Pikud HaOref (Home Front Command) app for real-time emergency alerts during your stay.

Cultural Considerations

Shabbat (Friday sunset to Saturday evening) sees most businesses close in Jewish areas. Dress modestly when visiting holy sites — cover shoulders and knees at the Western Wall, churches, and mosques. Remove shoes before entering mosques.

Entry Requirements Checklist

Before departure, ensure you have: a valid passport (at least 3 months beyond your travel date), an approved ETA-IL, proof of accommodation, return flight tickets, and adequate travel insurance covering medical emergencies.
