The ETA-IL system is a brand-new scheme introduced by the Israeli government. It helps to keep track of tourists coming into the country, maintaining security for everyone.
Travelers from VISA-exempt countries now need to present an ETA – Electronic Travel Authorization – in order to enter Israel. To get an ETA-IL, all you need to do is fill out an online form with some basic personal details before your departure. The form will then be looked over, and your ETA will be sent to you via email.
This form of travel authorization is much quicker, simpler and more affordable than a visa. For most people, being granted the ETA-IL is a straightforward and quick process.
Similar electronic travel authorization systems are in use in countries across the world, including the United States and Australia. You may also be familiar with terms such as ‘e-visa’, or ‘ESTA’. Like the ETA-IL, these are all electronic documents which certify that you are permitted to enter the country. The new scheme is also extremely similar to these in terms of the application process.
Once approved, the Israel ETA is valid for 2 years. During this period, you can enter Israel multiple times, staying up to 90 days per visit.
Processing your Israel ETA-IL from our side takes no more than 1 hour, thanks to Evisat AI technology. Once submitted to the government, approval can take up to 72 hours. The ETA-IL is electronically linked to your passport, but we recommend printing a copy or keeping the digital version ready on your phone until you arrive at the border. You will receive your ETA-IL via email.
The Israel ETA-IL isn’t a visa. It’s a travel authorization that’s linked to your passport and allows you to enter Israel without a traditional visa.
Applying for an Israel ETA-IL through Evisat.org costs $69, which includes both the government fee and our service fee. You can also apply directly on the official government website for a lower price.
Using our advanced AI technology, Evisat carefully reviews each application to detect and correct errors before submission. Every day, we identify mistakes in customers’ applications, helping them avoid delays, re-submissions, or even the hassle of changing travel plans.
