Israeli Visa Processing Times

ETA-IL decisions are usually quick, but travellers are advised to apply well ahead; consular, work, family and immigration cases take longer and depend on PIBA review.

Important

This information is for general guidance only. Meeting the requirements does not guarantee your application will be approved.

Applicants are advised to submit an ETA-IL at least 72 hours before travel, though many decisions are faster. Consular B/2 visas depend on the workload of the individual mission.

Work, student, family reunification and immigration cases involve PIBA review and multi-stage processes and can take considerably longer — family reunification, in particular, follows a graduated procedure lasting several years. Treat any stated timeframe as indicative and verify with PIBA.
