Major development for entering Israel: for visa-exempt travelers, the country is preparing to revise its entry formalities.
The Hebrew State, for which an electronic visa already exists for certain nationalities/situations, will require the obtaining of an electronic visa (its name will be ETA-IL) for citizens of countries benefiting from a visa exemption whose all European countries.
From July 1, 2024, the ETA-IL eVisa will be available to nationals of countries today exempt from entry visas into Israel. It will be mandatory as of August, 1st 2024.
