Visa Requirements for Israel

Israel allows visa-free entry for citizens of many countries including the United States, Canada, all EU countries, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand for tourism stays up to 90 days. Upon arrival, visitors receive an entry stamp on a separate paper slip (not in passport) to avoid complications when traveling to countries that don't recognize Israel. Border security is thorough with detailed questioning common. Citizens of most Arab and Muslim-majority countries face restrictions or outright bans. Israeli passport stamps (even on separate slip) can prevent entry to many Middle Eastern countries. Extensions beyond 90 days require application to Israeli Population and Immigration Authority. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months.
