Further notes

  • Foreign nationals entering Israel through Ben Gurion Airport are issued an entry permit upon arrival, which serves as proof of legal stay and must be retained until departure. Admission is determined solely by Israeli border and immigration authorities at the airport.
  • Travelers who are denied entry and issued a return order must contact an Israeli diplomatic mission for information about future travel eligibility.
  • Since 1 August 2024, visa-exempt travelers are required to complete the ETA-IL electronic travel authorization prior to travel and may enter Israel only after receiving approval or holding a valid visa.
