## Evidence timeline

- **January 1, 2025 — Visa-exempt ordinary passports require ETA-IL** (ETA)
  The listed visa-exempt ordinary national passports require ETA-IL for qualifying visitor travel to Israel.
  - The cohort is limited to regular national passports and does not cover diplomatic, official, service, refugee, stateless, identity, or other travel documents.
  - ETA-IL covers visitor stays of up to 90 days and is valid for up to two years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first.
  - Citizens, qualifying permanent residents, official missions, some crew, and specified dual-document cases have separate rules.
  - ETA-IL does not guarantee admission; immigration officers make the entry decision after security and admissibility checks.
