What you need

  • Passport validity: passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry into Israel.
  • Specific forms: Israel offers an electronic travel authorization (eTA); no separate paper visa form is required for eligible stays. Complete the online eTA application via the official portal.
  • Financial proof: there is no fixed minimum funds requirement in the eTA guidelines; you should have enough funds to cover your stay and return travel if asked.
  • Accommodation and return ticket: not required to hold a confirmed hotel or return ticket, but you should be prepared to show proof of accommodation and a return/onward travel plan if requested by border control.
  • Photo specification: no separate passport photo upload is required for the eTA; ensure your passport photo in the passport is current.
  • Biometrics: the eTA application itself does not require you to submit biometrics; you may be subject to biometric checks at entry.
  • Travel health insurance: strongly recommended to have travel health insurance covering your stay in Israel.

  • eTA vs embassy application: this guide covers the online eTA route; for long stays or other purposes, contact the Israeli embassy or consulate via https://embassies.gov.il/ or the official visa units portal for guidance.
  • Travel advisories: check the Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs travel advisories and Israel’s official travel notices prior to departure.
  • Extensions: extensions beyond the allowed stay require approval from Misrad HaPnim (Population and Immigration Authority) in Israel; apply before your current stay expires and be aware extensions are not guaranteed.
