Moldova → Israel: Short-stay tourist

You likely don't need a visa

This one depends on which passport you hold. Israel's Population and Immigration Authority says Moldovan citizens holding a BIOMETRIC passport are eligible for the ETA-IL and don't need a visa, but on a non-biometric Moldovan passport you still need a visa (the checklist shows how to apply). Check which one you have before you travel. If yours is biometric: Since 1 January 2025 you must have an approved ETA-IL (Israel's electronic travel authorisation) before you travel. It costs 25 NIS (non-refundable), is valid for up to 2 years or until your passport expires, and allows stays of up to 90 days per visit. It doesn't cover work, and it isn't a guarantee of entry, border control makes the final decision. Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your arrival date. Apply only on the official site, israel-entry.piba.gov.il; the authority recommends applying at least 72 hours before you book flights or hotels. One exception to check: Israel's embassy in Berlin says German citizens who also hold Iranian, Iraqi, Lebanese or Syrian citizenship are currently not allowed to enter Israel, and that those born in one of those countries without holding its citizenship must apply for a visa at the consulate. If either applies to you, ask an Israeli consulate before you book instead of relying on this exemption.
