Before you fly: US and other visa-exempt visitors need an approved ETA-IL before flying to Israel. It costs 25 NIS, is good for two years or until your passport expires (whichever comes first), and allows stays of up to 90 days each visit. A new passport needs a new ETA-IL. Apply on the official site, israel-entry.piba.gov.il, at least 72 hours before your flight.Source: israel-entry.piba.gov.il · il.usembassy.gov, checked Nov 2026 · tip from ivelt
