🇮🇱 Israel
The B/2 tourist visa allows stays of up to 90 days for tourism, business meetings, or medical treatment. Since January 1, 2025, all travelers from visa-exempt countries (99 countries) must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA-IL) at least 72 hours before arrival. ETA-IL costs ILS 25 and is valid for 2 years or until passport expiry. No work is permitted under any circumstances, though digital nomads working remotely for foreign employers are generally tolerated. Citizens of certain additional countries (including India and Sri Lanka) may apply for e-Visas online. Nationals of countries without visa exemption must apply at an Israeli embassy. Extensions beyond 90 days are possible but difficult to obtain.
