How to go

VISA AND OTHER PROCEDURES

You only need a passport valid for 6 months to enter the country. Upon arrival, you are granted a 30-day stay. The Israeli authorities themselves are warning visitors to the country that, unless they insist, their passports will not be stamped because several Muslim countries refuse entry to travelers with Israeli entry stamps in their passports.

HEALTH AND SAFETY CARE

Israeli authorities do not require proof of any specific vaccine to allow entry into the country. Pay attention to abrasive sun protection and hydration if traveling to the inhospitable domains of the Negev desert.

For more information on traveling health, see the Health Portal of the Ministry of Health and Tropical and Traveler Medicine Clinic. In FitForTravel find country-specific health and disease prevention advice (in English).

Carefully assess the political-military situation between Israel and the Palestinian territories before traveling to Israel. There are often periods of instability with attacks by both parties and terrorist attacks carried out by Palestinians in Israeli territory.
