Update July 25, 2024: The Israeli Ministry of Interior announced that this system will become mandatory in January 2025 instead of August 2024, as previously announced.

• The Israeli Ministry of Interior will require all visa-exempt nationals to have a valid Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA-IL), "Marom ETA-IL", obtained through the electronic portal, beginning August 1, 2024. The system will open for applications on July 1, 2024.
• All foreign nationals who are currently eligible for a visa exemption to Israel and who are traveling for short-term visits to Israel for tourism, business and other non-work/non-medical purposes, will need to use and obtain approval from the ETA-IL system prior to traveling to Israel.
