Having an ETA-IL allows you to stay in Israel for up to 90 days per visit for a two-year period. If you plan to stay longer than 90 days or if your purpose is other than tourism or business, you must apply for an Israeli visa at the Israeli Embassy of your country.

You could receive a reply within 24 to 72 hours, however the process might take up to 5 business days.

Your ETA-IL is valid for multiple visits within a two-year period starting from the date your application is approved or until your current passport expires, whichever happens first. This means that, as long as you have received an ETA-IL, you won’t have to apply another time during this period.
