Also known as an e-visa, the ETA for Israel is a new program through which tourists will receive permission to enter the country. The ETA-IL, or electronic travel authorization, is available for all passport-holding citizens of countries that are on the ETA-approved list, i.e which do not require a visa to enter Israel.
The ETA-IL is required by all citizens of such countries. For a full list of countries which require the ETA-IL to travel into Israel, click here

The process of applying for an Israeli ETA is quick and efficient. Typically, the entire process is entirely finished within just a few days.
The Application Process Applying for the ETA-IL takes five to ten minutes. However, this doesn’t include the time it takes to issue a new passport if you need one, or get hold of any documentation you’ll need to fill in the form – so make sure you’re organized.
Processing The processing time for the ETA-IL is usually up to 72 hours if there are no delays. An update on the status of your application will usually be emailed to you a few days after confirmation.
Validity The ETA-IL is valid for 2 years or until the expiry of your passport – whichever is sooner.
ETA-IL approval for Israel is generally at a high rate. However, complications and delays do happen. The most common reason for an application to be delayed or rejected is an incorrectly filled in form, for example a mistake in your passport number or a misspelling in your name. It’s vital to check the application over before you send it in.
However, ETAs may also be delayed if the immigration authorities have reason to believe you pose a risk to Israeli borders. For example, you may expect a delay or rejection if you have a background of criminal or immigration-related offenses.
Those whose ETA-IL application is rejected are typically required to apply for a visa through the embassy.
Leave plenty of time. Once issued, your ETA-IL is valid for 2 years, so you don’t lose out on much time by applying early. Leaving a generous margin of time gives you peace of mind in case your application is delayed or rejected.
Do not leave out critical information from your application – even if it seems insignificant to you. Examples include middle names or additional nationalities.
Make sure that you have received confirmation of your application by email.
Flag, star or bookmark the email to keep track of later.
Apply carefully. Incorrect details will slow the application process.
Check and double-check your application details.
Proof-read as you go along and make sure you look over the application review at the end of the form.
Keen travelers may wish to travel to other countries in the Middle East, including those with poor diplomatic relations in Israel.
The ETA-IL is an electronic document alone. No mark will be made on your passport to indicate that you have spent time in Israel. Therefore, obtaining an Israeli ETA in theory should not affect your ability to enter other regions in the area.
However, caution is still advised when planning a visit. Always seek the advice of your embassy or consulate before embarking on a trip if you are unsure of security implications.
