Requirements for the Israel ETA-IL

Begin Your Israel ETA-IL Application

This page explains what you need to apply for the Israel ETA-IL. The requirements are the same for all eligible travellers and do not change based on the purpose of travel.

The Core Requirement for the Israel ETA-IL

A Valid Passport (Bio Page Only)

Passport Bio Page

The Israel ETA-IL application requires only one document.

You must provide a clear scan of your passport bio page.

Passport Conditions You Must Meet

  • Issued by an eligible country
  • Valid for the required period at the time of entry
  • Clearly readable with no blur or shadows
  • Shows full personal details and passport number
  • Displays the machine-readable zone without damage

You should upload the same passport you intend to use when travelling to Israel. Using a different passport after approval may result in denial of entry.

What the Application Form Will Ask You

Although the document requirements are minimal, the ETA-IL application form collects standard background information. These questions help assess eligibility before travel.

Personal and Travel History Information

You will be asked to confirm:

  • Whether you have travelled to Israel before
  • The most recent year of travel, if applicable
  • Any previous Israeli visa or ETA-IL history

Occupation and Employment Details

You are required to provide:

  • Your occupation
  • Employer or business name
  • Name of organisation
  • Employer or business contact number

These details apply across all travel purposes and do not change the document requirement.

Common Issues Applicants Should Avoid

Even with simple requirements, errors can occur. Avoid the following mistakes to reduce unwanted delays:

  • Uploading an unclear or cropped passport scan
  • Entering passport numbers incorrectly
  • Providing incomplete occupation details
  • Selecting a purpose that does not match your travel plans

Reviewing your information before submission helps maintain accuracy.

mportant Note: You must apply for eVisa-B2 from within your country of passport nationality; applications from elsewhere aren't accepted.
