When do I need a visa for Israel?
Swedish citizens do not need a traditional visa for tourist, business, or family visits of up to 90 days. However, from 1 January 2025, Swedish citizens must apply for an electronic entry permit, ETA-IL, before departure to Israel. The ETA-IL is mandatory for travelers from visa-free countries and must be approved before commencing the trip.
The ETA-IL is valid for up to two years, or until the passport expires if it is done earlier. The permit allows multiple entries and each stay may be up to 90 days. If you are going to work, study or settle in Israel, you need to apply for the right visa through the Israeli authorities. The final decision on entry is always made by the Israeli border control.
Note: The above information applies to Swedish passport holders. Other nationalities may have different requirements. Some travelers may need to apply for a visa in advance or provide additional documents when applying.
