Please be informed that if you hold a passport from a visa exempted country, you need to apply for an ETA-IL visa.   
As of the 1st of January 2025, nationals of visa-exempt countries must have an ETA-IL approval prior to their flight to Israel.

_Please note - Indian and Sri-Lankan passports are not a part of this pilot at the moment, and therefore require standard visa as was till today._ 

**Other international passport-holders, please check below to see if you qualify to an ETA-IL visa:**
