Do Portuguese 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 required. Portuguese passport holders need an ETA-IL before traveling to Israel.

Portuguese passport holders must complete the online application before travel. After approval, they may stay for up to 90 days. The approval costs 25 NIS and is valid for 2 years or until the submitted passport expires, whichever comes first. Diplomatic, service, and official passport holders are among those exempt from applying.
