Do Australian passport holders need a visa for Israel?

Covers 11 passports and 80 destinations. Rules older than 30 days are flagged for re-check.

How this tool works

We read the official notice for each pair and record the date. Nothing here is generated; a pair with no written check is not shown.

ETA-IL required. Australian passport holders need an ETA-IL or a visa before arriving in Israel.

For a visit of less than 90 days you may be eligible for the ETA-IL, which is valid for 2 years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. Apply on the official ETA-IL website, and check the Smartraveller advice level for Israel before you book.
