Israel Delays Full Implementation of Electronic Travel Authorization System to Next Year
The Israeli government has postponed the full implementation of the Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA-IL) system until January 1, 2025.
The system was set to start on July 1, with a pilot period lasting until July 31. This pilot period has been extended until December 31.
The system targets travelers entering Israel for tourism or short-term business without a visa, valid for two years. Applicants are required to apply at least 72 hours before travel. During the pilot period, submission is voluntary, but after the full start, obtaining authorization will be mandatory, including a fee of 25 Israeli Shekels.
