Eligible travelers can apply for an Israel ETA with Passporta in an easy and straightforward way online.

Once you take your working electronic device with internet access, follow the instructions below:

1. Complete the form with your information. Make sure there are no blank fields left.
2. Attach the necessary documentation. The copy must be of good quality.
3. Pay the fee. Payment should be made online by methods like a debit/credit card.
4. Wait for a response. Processing takes up to 72 hours.

The approved Israel ETA will come in a PDF form. Applicants receive the document via email. Don't forget to check the spam/junk folder.

The IL ETA stays valid for up to 2 years or until the passport linked to the authorization expires – whichever comes first.

While the ETA remains effective, travelers can enter Israel an unlimited number of times. A visit cannot exceed 90 days (3 months).

IMPORTANT: The IL ETA is digitally connected to the applicant's passport. This means that any changes in passport information (e.g., in name, gender, or country of citizenship) will make the associated ETA invalid.

Usually, the applications for Israeli electronic travel authorization are approved quickly, within 72 hours.

The time can be prolonged in case of a significant volume of applications in the system, technical issues, or errors/blanks in the form.

To avoid problems, double-check your details and apply beforehand. In case of any questions, feel free to contact the Passporta support team.

While typically, our customers successfully get IL ETAs, on rare occasions, the applications may get denied.

The reasons for rejection are usually the same and include:

• Incorrect details or typos in the form.
• Passport validity under 6 months.
• Unclear passport copy.
• Criminal history (e.g., serious offenses like drug trafficking).

Before submitting the application, review the common reasons behind the denials and make sure you didn't make any of them. Passporta experts also check the information to maximize the chance of approval.

If denied, you'll be directed to apply for a traditional visa at an Israeli embassy.
