Israel, Feb 29:
Israel is preparing to make travel easier for tourists by launching an electronic visa (E-visa) system.
Following this new move, tourists from visa-requiring countries can apply for a tourist visa online and
receive it by email, eliminating the need to visit the Israeli embassy, VisaGuide.World reports.
All necessary documents can be submitted online, and once approved, the e-visa will be sent directly to
the applicant’s inbox. In cases where further review or additional documents are needed, applicants may
be required to visit the Israeli embassy.
As local media reports, the Director General of the Population and Immigration Authority, Eyal Siso, has
hailed the initiative as a “real revolution” in the service, empowering tourists to handle their applications
conveniently from home.
The implementation of the E-visa system holds significant potential not only for tourists but also for
Israel’s tourism industry at large. With the streamlining of the visa application process, Israel stands to
become an even more appealing destination for international travelers.
