About the Israel visa

Israel is home to Jerusalem's Old City, Tel Aviv's beaches, the Dead Sea and the ancient fortress of Masada. Indian passport holders need a visitor (B/2) visa for tourism or family visits.

Fees are modest and stays of up to 90 days are commonly granted. Because the security situation in the region can change quickly, check current travel advisories before you apply.

Israel visa types for Indians

VisaEntryStayBest for
Tourist visa (B/2)Single or multipleUp to 90 daysHolidays, pilgrimages and family visits
Business visa (B/2)Single or multipleUp to 90 daysMeetings and conferences with an invitation

Visa options, stays and fees are set by Israel immigration and can change. We confirm the current options when you enquire.

Who can apply

  • You hold an Indian ordinary passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your date of arrival, with at least two blank pages.
  • Your visit is short-term, such as tourism, a family visit or business meetings. Work, study and residence in Israel need a different visa.

Accommodation requirement

May be requested

Accommodation proof may be requested

Accommodation proof or details may be asked for during the application or at entry.

When accommodation proof is needed, a refundable hotel booking is generally safer than a non-refundable booking.

Required documents

  • Passport: Clear colour scan of the bio-data page of your Indian passport, valid for at least 6 months beyond your date of arrival.
  • Photograph: Recent passport-size colour photo on a plain white background, as a digital file.
  • Flights: Confirmed return or onward ticket showing your dates into and out of Israel.
  • Accommodation: Hotel booking, tour voucher or your host's address and contact details in Israel.
  • Bank statements: Last 3–6 months, plus income tax returns.
  • Cover letter: Purpose of visit, itinerary and who is paying for the trip.
  • Invitation (business/family): Letter from the Israeli company or host.

The exact document checklist for Israel is set by its immigration authorities and can change. Contact VisaAdvisory for guidance specific to your trip, and verify on the official immigration or visa portal before payment or travel.

04

Track the application

05

Download and travel

Save and print the approval. Carry it with your passport and show it at check-in and at immigration.

Processing time

  • Typical time: ~6–13 days after a complete application is submitted
  • Plan ahead: Apply at least 2–3 weeks before you fly to Israel, and earlier during peak holiday seasons.

Before you travel

  • Check the Indian Ministry of External Affairs and Embassy of India in Tel Aviv advisories before travel, as the security situation can change quickly.
  • Israeli immigration usually issues a separate entry slip rather than stamping passports. Keep it safe until you leave.
  • Expect detailed security questions at Ben Gurion Airport, both on arrival and departure.
  • The Israeli new shekel is the local currency.
  • Keep a printed copy of your approval and a digital copy on your phone. Airlines often check it at check-in for flights to Israel.
  • Travel insurance with medical cover is strongly recommended for every trip to Israel.

  • eVisa availability does not guarantee approval. The decision rests with the authorities of Israel.

FAQ

Israel visa questions

Do Indians need a visa for Israel?

Yes. Indian passport holders need a visitor (B/2) visa for tourism or family visits.

Will an Israeli stamp affect travel to other countries?

Israel normally gives a separate entry slip instead of a passport stamp, which helps if you also plan to visit countries that do not recognise Israel.

How long can I stay in Israel?

Up to 90 days is commonly granted, but immigration decides at the border.

How long does the Israel visa take?

Usually ~6–13 days once a complete application is submitted. It can take longer during busy periods or if extra checks are needed, so do not leave it to the last minute.

Is the Israel visa fee refunded if the application is refused?

Government visa fees are generally non-refundable once an application has been submitted, whatever the outcome. Please read our refund policy for details on VisaAdvisory service fees.

Can VisaAdvisory guarantee my Israel visa?

No. The decision rests with the authorities of Israel. We help you submit a complete and accurate application, which avoids the most common causes of delays and refusals.
