→ Israel visa for French citizens

Before embarking on your journey, French citizens should note that an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is now a prerequisite for entry into Israel. This new system, applicable to the two short-term visa types available, including the standard tourist category, allows for stays of up to 90 days, offering ample time to explore the country. With frequent direct flights from major French hubs like Paris-CDG and Marseille to Ben Gurion Airport (TLV), reaching Israel is remarkably convenient. When planning your trip, remember to account for the approximately one-hour time difference and exchanging Euros for the local New Israeli Shekel upon arrival.
