The ETA-IL is a mandatory pre-entry approval implemented by the Israeli government in 2025 for travelers from visa-exempt countries. Travelers to Israel must obtain ETA-IL authorization or any other required travel documentation prior to departure.
Guests are responsible for securing a valid passport and completing all entry requirements. To apply for entry, visit this website: https://israel-entry.piba.gov.il/.

Approval is typically valid for up to two years or until passport expiration (whichever comes first) and allows for multiple entries during its validity. It is the responsibility of each guest to complete the application accurately and in a timely manner.
