Israel - Introduction of Electronic Travel Authorization(ETA)- from 1 August 2024
15/07/2024 00:00

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

We are pleased to announce an important innovation for your trips to Israel.

From August 1, 2024, a prior electronic entry permit, the so-called „ETA-IL“, will be required for entry.

This measure applies to all nationals who are allowed to enter Israel without a visa, and applies to both business trips and tourist visits.

All others who require a visa due to their nationality or purpose of travel (work, student, etc.) must continue to organize this in advance - but do not need to apply for an additional ETA-IL.

Why is the „ETA-IL“ an advantage for you?

  1. Quick and uncomplicated: The application process is simple and convenient and can be accessed via our ÖVKG portal.
  2. Travel planning made easy: With the „ETA-IL“ you can be sure that your entry formalities have been completed before departure.
  3. More time for the essentials: No lengthy waiting times at the airport

Use our service!

We will be happy to assist you with the application for the „ETA-IL“ and provide you with advice and support.

Visit our ÖVKG portal and complete all the formalities in just a few steps.

So you can concentrate fully on your travel preparations.

 

We are delighted to be able to offer you this new service.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our team on Tel: 01/3615520 or by email at wien@oevkg.at.

 

With kind regards,

Karin Mogy
