Step-by-Step Application Process

Prepare Your Passport

Ensure your Spanish passport is valid for at least six months from your date of entry into Israel.

Board Your Flight

Proceed to check-in for your flight to Ben Gurion Airport (or another entry point); no prior visa application is currently needed for short stays.

Clear Israeli Border Control

Present your passport and answer standard security questions at immigration. You will receive an entry card (B2 visa slip) instead of a physical passport stamp.

Required Documents

—Valid Spanish Passport (must have at least 6 months validity)
—Return or Onward Flight Ticket
—Proof of Sufficient Funds for the stay
—Accommodation Details (Hotel reservation or host address)
—Travel Medical Insurance (Highly recommended)

Important Tips

•Keep the entry slip received at border control safe with your passport until you depart, as you will need it for checkpoints and tax exemptions.
•Expect extensive security questioning both when boarding your flight to Israel and upon arrival; this is standard procedure.
•Having stamps from certain Arab or Muslim countries may lead to additional questioning but is not a legal barrier to entry.
•A new Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA-IL) system for visa-exempt travelers is planned; check current requirements before traveling.
•Israel generally does not stamp passports, preventing issues if you later travel to countries that ban entry with an Israeli stamp.

Easiest Way to Get It

Simply ensure your passport has six months of validity and bring your return ticket; you will receive a 90-day tourist entry card upon landing.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.
