The rest of the trip for an Indian passport, from the arrival form to customs and travelling with children: Israel entry requirements.
The details for an Indian passport.
Indians are not visa-exempt (Israel's official tourist-visa tables, gov.il 2022 / Embassy Manama 2023, list India as visa required), so ETA-IL does not apply. The official PIBA entry portal describes itself as the site for 'ETA-IL, eVisa-B2 and entry procedures to Israel'; press reports (Jan 2025) say the eVisa-B2 pilot is open to Indian nationals, fee ILS 100, decision in up to 10 business days, stay up to 90 days - eligibility and fee not confirmed on an official page. Otherwise apply for a B/2 visa at an Israeli mission.
How long it must be valid.
FCDO: passport expiry date at least 90 days after the date you arrive. US State Dept: valid for 90 days at the time of entry. (Older guidance and some airlines use 6 months - check with your airline.) Netherlands: at least 3 months on arrival.
Recent changes in Israel.
- 2025-01-01 — ETA-IL became mandatory for all visa-exempt travellers (ILS 25, valid 2 years).
- 2025-12-31 — End of temporary permission for Israeli citizens to enter/exit on non-Israeli passports.
