Documents You Need for an Israeli Visa
Every route requires a valid passport and evidence supporting the purpose of travel; work, study and family routes add sponsor letters, and immigration and family cases require apostilled, Hebrew-translated civil documents.
Important
All applicants need a passport valid for the required period, a recent photograph and proof of the trip's purpose. Visitors are typically asked to show onward or return travel and evidence of ties to their home country.
Longer-stay and immigration applications require more: employer or institution sponsorship letters for work and study; and, for family reunification and Aliyah, apostilled civil documents (birth and marriage certificates) with certified Hebrew translations, plus police clearance certificates. Confirm the exact list with PIBA or the relevant Israeli mission, as requirements vary by category and nationality.
