→ Israel visa for German citizens

For German passport holders planning a visit to Israel, an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) is now a mandatory requirement for entry, allowing stays of up to 90 days, with two distinct tourist visa types available. This streamlined process reflects the continuously evolving and deeply significant relationship between the two nations, a historical context unique to journeys between Germany and Israel. Visitors will find direct flights readily available from major German hubs like Frankfurt and Munich, typically arriving in Tel Aviv in just under four hours. It’s also wise to note the time difference, as Israel is one hour ahead of Central European Time (CET), and the New Israeli Shekel (ILS) is the local currency.
