Electronic travel authorization

Israel's Foreign Ministry lists, country by country, whether a national passport needs a tourist visa or is exempted. Visitors from visa-exempt countries apply for an ETA-IL electronic travel authorization and can stay up to 90 days per visit; the Population and Immigration Authority says that if you are not eligible for an ETA-IL, you need to apply for a visa. Applications for B/2 tourist visas can be submitted at Israeli missions in the country of origin. Under the Authority's eVisa-B2 pilot, Indian and Sri Lankan passport holders residing in India and Sri Lanka can apply for a B2 visa online.
