Israel entry requirements for Ukrainian citizens
Short answerUkrainian citizens need an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) before travelling to Israel. Up to 90 days per visit.
- How long you can stay
- Up to 90 days per visit.
- What you need
- Passport valid for at least three months from the date of arrival in Israel
- Approved ETA-IL electronic travel authorisation obtained before departure (fee 25 NIS, non-refundable)
- Good to know
- Israel's Population and Immigration Authority (PIBA) lists Ukraine as visa-exempt: the official ETA-IL eligibility checker, run on 2026-10-10 for a Ukraine regular (national) passport with purpose 'Visit (Tourism)', returned 'Eligible — Based on your answers, you can apply for an ETA-IL' (the checker's country data also flags this nationality NEED_PERMIT=0). PIBA: 'As of January 1st, 2025, travelers to Israel must have a valid visa or ETA-IL approval before starting their journey.' An approved ETA-IL lets you travel to Israel and 'stay for up to 90 days per visit'; it is valid for up to 2 years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first, and a new one (another 25 NIS) is needed with a new passport or a change of name, gender or citizenship. Every traveller including minors needs their own ETA-IL (an adult applies for a minor). Replies usually come within 24–72 hours; PIBA recommends applying at least 72 hours before booking flights or hotels. Apply only on the official site israel-entry.piba.gov.il. An ETA-IL 'does not constitute a guarantee of entry' — a border control officer decides at arrival, and it can be revoked for immigration or security reasons. Not exempt: people with Israeli citizenship (including dual nationals travelling on a foreign passport — they must show proof of Israeli citizenship to the airline) or holders of a valid Israeli visa. Stays beyond 90 days need an extension request under PIBA procedures (no fee or maximum stated on the pages read). Work is not allowed on an ETA-IL.
