ETAIL Update

Dear Friends and Partners,

As we witness God's continued faithfulness and the gradual return of tourism to Israel, we want to remind you of important information to ensure your smooth journey to Israel.

Starting January 1, 2025, Israel is implementing ETA-IL, an online pre-entry application system similar to USA's ESTA and EU's ETIAS. This new requirement will help facilitate faster and smoother entry into the country for visitors.

Key points:

·  Mandatory for all tourists from visa-exempt countries

·  Processing time: up to 72 hours

·  Validity: 2 years, maximum 90 days per visit. Fee: 25 NIS (approximately $8)

·  Without an ETA-IL approval, passengers cannot check-in or board their flights

We would like to remind all travelers to complete their ETA-IL applications well in advance of their planned travel dates. You can apply and find further details at: https://israel-entry.piba.gov.il/

We look forward to welcoming you to the Land of the Bible!

With blessings and anticipation,
