Work out the right Israel entry process
Use official eligibility guidance for your passport and status. ETA-IL is not the answer for every traveler or every type of stay.

Does ETA-IL guarantee admission?
No. Follow official guidance; authorization and the entry decision are separate.
Should I use an intermediary link from a group?
Start at the official Population and Immigration Authority portal and check the domain before entering personal information or paying.

Full guide
Establish your status
Identify your citizenships, travel document, any Israeli citizenship or residency, and the purpose and length of your visit. A friend’s passport situation may differ from yours.
Use the official portal
Visa-exempt foreign visitors generally need ETA-IL. Travelers outside that route should follow the applicable visa or status guidance. Check each traveler, including children, and use official help for unusual cases.
Check before departure
Confirm that the details on the approval match the travel document you will use. Recheck official requirements when plans or documents change. Keep the confirmation accessible and avoid posting passport information in group chats.
