    ​​NEW ELECTRONIC FORM  List of required supporting documents to be submitted with the request can be found hereunder!

    As part of the government's measures to protect the citizens and prevent the spread of the coronavirus and the entry of dangerous variants into Israel, foreign citizens are allowed to enter only after they have received a permit in accordance with the criteria set by the steering committee for foreigners entering into Israel.

    With the aim of streamlining and speeding up the replies by the Israeli representatives abroad - who have to deal with tens of thousands of inquiries for entry permits by foreign citizens - the Consular Affairs Division has launched a new digital service, which allows every foreign citizen who wishes to enter Israel to fill out an electronic application which will be transferred to the Israeli representatives abroad and to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Jerusalem.

    The new digital form will allow faster and more effective treatment of your file and shorten the wait times.
