Israel e-Visa for Indians 2026 — Fees, Processing, Documents & Process
Israel — Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and the Dead Sea — launched an e-Visa for Indian travelers, making the tourist (B2) visa easier than the old consular process. This guide covers the e-visa fee, processing, and documents.
Do Indians need an Israel visa?
Yes. The e-Visa (ETA-IL/B2 tourist) is the convenient route for Indians; a traditional consular visa remains an option.
Fee & processing (2026)
| Route | Detail |
|---|---|
| e-Visa | ~₹2,500–2,800; processed in 5–7 days |
| Consular tourist visa | ~₹2,950 + ~₹1,985 service; 7–15 working days |
Step-by-step (e-Visa)
- Apply on the official Israel e-Visa portal with passport and photo.
- Pay the fee; receive the e-Visa by email in about a week.
- Carry a printout, return ticket, accommodation, and funds proof.
Documents & key points
