ETIAS is not live yet. Until the EU formally switches it on, Israelis enter Schengen with no prior authorisation, and we do not charge for something that is not required yet. Leave us your email and we will tell you the day that changes.

Not required for an Israeli passport right now

As things stand today, an Israeli passport does not need this authorisation — the requirement is not in force yet. There is nothing to order and nothing to pay for. We keep the destination on the list so you know what is coming, and the day the requirement takes effect we will say so right here.

What we will need from you

  • Passport scanA clear photo of the data page with all four corners inside the frame, valid for at least six months from your date of entry.
  • Home address in IsraelYour full address exactly as it appears on your ID appendix, including postcode.
  • Travel datesYour planned entry and exit dates. They can still change as long as we have not filed yet.
  • Hotel or host addressName and address of your first night of accommodation. Staying with friends or family — their name, address and phone.
  • Employment or study confirmationA recent payslip or an employer letter. Students send an enrolment confirmation, self-employed send their business registration.

Entry requirements, fees and processing times are set by the authorities at the destination and can change without notice. We verify them against the official source before every filing, but the decision to approve or refuse an application rests with the authority alone and we cannot guarantee it. Even an approval is not a guarantee of entry — the officer at the border has the final say.
