Immigration Procedure:
Passports must be valid for a minimum of six months from the date of expected departure.
Nationals from a number of countries do not require visas, or will have them issued free of charge on arrival. Find out if your country is on the list by going to the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs Tourist Visa Table [https://mfa.gov.il].
Other nationalities must apply for visas in advance and pay a fee.
Normally a three month stay is granted on arrival.
Entry stamps are no longer added to foreign passports. Instead, visitors
are issued with the Entry card which should be kept with your passport
at all times. The card is evidence of your legal entry into Israel. Authorities may ask for it during your stay.
If cruising onwards to any middle-east countries where an Israeli stamp in your passport might be a problem, request to have your stamp put on a separate piece of paper and inserted in your passport.
Other Visa Information:
After three months, one can apply for a visa or extension of a visa at a Ministry of the Interior office. This extension is usually for a further three months. Contact their call center at: *3450 or dial 12223450.
Extensions after the initial three months will automatically be stamped in the passport.
