How to Get a Visa to Israel<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The procedure for granting a B\/2 tourist visa to Israel<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There are almost a hundred countries whose citizens don\u2019t require a visa<\/a> to visit Israel. Israel has signed visa exemption agreements with these countries, which frees their citizens from the need to obtain a tourist visa in advance to enter Israel.<\/p>\n

However, tourists from countries who have not signed such an agreement with Israel, or also those who have had problems with the Israeli immigration authorities in the past (even if they are citizens of a visa free country) must obtain an Israeli B\/2 tourist visa in advance before they attempt to enter Israel. These citizens who wish to visit Israel as tourists have to acquire an official invitation to the country from an Israeli citizen, or receive the permission to visit Israel at the Israeli consulate in their home country.

What type of activity is allowed with a B-2 tourist visa to Israel?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The B\/2 tourist visa is a permit to enter Israel and stay in the country for a maximum of 3 months (or less, at the discretion of the issuing officer) for one or more of the following purposes:<\/p>\n

The primary reason to obtain a B-2 visa is to visit Israel as a tourist. The Holy Land is an attractive tourist destination for many visitors from around the world. More than 3 million foreign nationals visit Israel each year.<\/p>\n

Second, Israel is also the Hi-Tech nation and many foreign nationals visit for short periods of time for business and professional meetings. You can read more about entering Israel on a short business visit in this<\/a> article on our website.<\/p>\n

Third, many visitors wish to enter for just a short time in order to studying the Hebrew language in an Israeli Ulpan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The B\/2 visa is the most frequent visa to Israel, but it does not permit the holder to work in Israel. Anyone wishing to travel to Israel for one of the aforementioned reasons for a maximum period of three months will be eligible to apply for the visa. The Ministry of Interior is the immigration authority responsible for processing the application in the applicant\u2019s country of residence and deciding whether to grant the applicant a B\/2 tourist visa.<\/p>\n

How to apply for a B\/2 tourist visa to Israel?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

An application for a B\/2 tourist visa should be filed between one and two months before the date of the trip. The applicant must complete the application form; otherwise the application will be rejected. When applying for an Israeli B\/2 tourist visa<\/a>, the completed application must be submitted to the appropriate authorities such as Consulate of Israel or the Embassy of Israel, in the applicant’s country of residence. One can even approach a third-party visa agency who has the authority from Israel to process visa admission forms. Applicants should contact the Embassy of Israel in their country of residence for relevant information before starting the application process.<\/p>\n

If a foreign national knows an Israeli citizen,their friend may be able to submit a request at the local Ministry of Interior office, department of immigration, for the foreign citizen to visit Israel as a tourist for a limited time. If this invitation is granted, the chances of the visitor being denied entry into Israel<\/a> are minimal.<\/p>\n
