Israel to launch Electronic Travel Authorization system

Effective 1 August 2024, visa-exempt foreign nationals who seek to undertake short-term visits to Israel for business or tourism purposes will be required to submit an online application on the new Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system prior to entry. The Israeli authorities introduced the ETA on a pilot (and voluntary) basis on 1 June 2024 for German and US nationals who seek to visit Israel for business or tourism. Effective 1 July 2024, the pilot program will be extended on a voluntary basis to all visa-exempt foreign nationals who seek to visit Israel for up to 90 days for business or tourism.
