Understanding the ETA-IL System
Who Needs an ETA-IL?
The ETA-IL is required for citizens of more than 100 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 electronic authorization has been mandatory since January 1, 2025 for every arrival, whether by air, land or sea. 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 the land and sea border crossings. The authorization is linked electronically to your passport, so no visa sticker is issued — but PIBA advises keeping a copy of your approval email with you throughout your stay in Israel.

ETA-IL Launch Timeline
Key milestones in the rollout of Israel's Electronic Travel Authorization system.
Pilot Phase Opens
PIBA opens the ETA-IL system as a free pilot, letting travellers from visa-exempt countries test the online application.
Mandatory for All
The ETA-IL becomes compulsory for citizens of the visa-exempt countries, whether arriving by air, land or sea, and the 25 NIS fee applies. Travellers without an approved ETA-IL may be denied boarding.
eVisa-B2 Introduced
Israel opens an online B2 visa for nationals who do need a visa: Indian passport holders in January 2025, Sri Lankan passport holders in February 2025.
Colombia Back on the List
Israel and Colombia restore their mutual visa exemption, so Colombian citizens are again eligible for the ETA-IL.
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 from your date of arrival in Israel), an approved ETA-IL, proof of accommodation, return flight tickets, and adequate travel insurance covering medical emergencies.
