Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA-IL) Requirement - Israel Tours

All non-Israeli guests participating in the tour are required to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA-IL) prior to arrival in Israel. The ETA-IL is a mandatory pre-entry approval implemented by the Israeli government in 2025 for travelers from visa-exempt countries. Guests must apply online through the official ETA-IL website at Israel-entry | Page Home and receive approval before boarding their flight. Do not use third party sites for the application process. The cost of the official ETA-IL visa application is 25 Shekels or about $7.50. The application approval should be submitted to Aliyah Tours one month before departure. An earlier submission is strongly recommended to avoid any delays or issues. 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. Failure to obtain ETA-IL approval may result in denial of boarding or entry into Israel, and the tour operator will not be held responsible for any costs or losses incurred as a result. 

Other nationals should contact their consulate for information.  For other destinations, please contact Aliyah Tours.  Aliyah Tours does NOT process visa applications.  No inoculations are currently required for travel to Israel.  Please contact public health authorities for further information or other destinations. 

Guests traveling from countries other than the host country are responsible for determining and meeting all entry, visa, passport, and documentation requirements for the destination country. Aliyah Tours is not responsible for delays, denied entry, or additional costs resulting from a guest’s failure to comply with these requirements. Any penalties, fees, or expenses incurred due to insufficient preparation are the sole responsibility of the guest. 

Travel Insurance is HIGHLY recommended for international travel to protect your tour investment. Travel insurance also protects you from costly losses due to emergency medical care, evacuation, trip interruption, and baggage loss. For the best coverage options, including "cancel for any reason" coverage, purchase your travel insurance within two weeks of booking your tour. There will be no exceptions to the strict cancellation policy.

The streets and sites we visit are not wheelchair and walker-friendly. Most of our tours include 3-5 miles of walking per day. Guests with mobility challenges or other health issues should make private arrangements to travel with a caregiver who can stay with them if they need to opt out of a tour stop. Tour drivers will take breaks and lock up their buses when unattended. Guests cannot be left alone on an unattended bus should they choose to opt out. If you have health challenges, please consult an Aliyah Tours representative before you put down a deposit on a tour.  

For the safety, comfort, and enjoyment of all participants, our Israel tours involve a moderate to rigorous level of physical activity.  Travelers should be able to:

• Walk 3-5 miles per day over uneven terrain, steps, inclines, and archaeological sites
• Stand for extended periods during teaching and site visits
• Manage personal luggage, travel documents, and personal needs independently
• Navigate airports, airline procedures, security, customs, and flight connections without assistance from ministry staff
• Keep pace with a group schedule that may include early mornings and full travel days

We joyfully welcome travelers from many seasons of life.  However, Aliyah Foundation ministry staff and tour leaders are not able to provide personal travel assistance, airport navigation support, mobility assistance, medical supervision, or daily personal care. 

Travelers who anticipate needing assistance in any of these areas are asked to travel with a capable companion who can provide the necessary support throughout the journey. 

Our goal is to ensure every guest experiences Israel in a safe, meaningful, and spiritually enriching way.
