🇮🇱 Do citizens of Brazil need a visa for Israel?
eTA (electronic authorization)
Citizens of Brazil need an electronic travel authorization (eTA) for Israel. It is not a full visa but an online registration to complete before departure, best done well ahead of time.
Israel grants visa-free short stays to many passports, usually up to 90 days, and now uses an online ETA-IL authorization for visa-exempt visitors. Ben Gurion near Tel Aviv is the main entry point.

What this means in practice
An eTA is not a visa: it is a short online registration, passport details and a few questions about your trip, plus a small fee paid by card. Approval is usually returned within minutes, and the authorization is linked electronically to your passport, so there is nothing to stick inside it. Airlines typically check for a valid eTA at check-in, so it needs to be in place before you fly, not on arrival.
Before you go
- Check your passport's expiry date: many countries require it to stay valid for at least three to six months after your return date, not just past your travel date.
- Carry proof of a return or onward ticket; border officers sometimes ask for it even for visa-free entry.
- Save offline copies of anything important (confirmations, hotel booking, visa approval): airport wifi is not guaranteed, and immigration desks often have no signal.
- You do not need the eTA before booking flights, but get it early: it is tied to your passport number, so a new passport means applying again.
Visa rules are set unilaterally by each country, often on a reciprocal basis: when one side eases entry, the other frequently matches it, and tightening can go the same way in reverse. Rules shift because of new agreements, political developments, seasonal pilot programs or plain administrative decisions, sometimes with little public notice in advance. Aviozo checks this visa dataset regularly, but the exact rule on your travel date is ultimately confirmed only by the official source or the destination's consulate.

Frequently asked questions
Do citizens of Brazil need a visa for Israel?
No full visa is needed in advance. The current rule is "eTA (electronic authorization)".
How long can citizens of Brazil stay in Israel without a visa?
Visa-free stays are allowed for up to 90 days. Longer stays or other trip purposes may require a separate visa.
How current is this data?
This pair's rule was taken from the official source on 12 August 2026: that is the date the whole destination was read, not a separate human reading of this one pair. Separately, a robot checks that the source link is still alive: it last responded on 1 September 2026. Visa rules can change with little notice, so double-check the official site a few days before you fly.
Does this rule apply to diplomatic or official passports?
No, this data is based on an ordinary tourist passport. Diplomatic, official and other special passports often follow a different entry rule, so check that separately.
Can I extend my stay once I am there?
Our dataset does not track extension rules; they are set by each country and depend on the specific authorization you hold. Check with the destination's consulate or immigration authority before your permitted stay runs out.
Do I need travel insurance?
We do not track insurance requirements; some e-visas and eTAs list a policy as a condition of approval, so check the official application. Either way, insurance is a sensible precaution for any trip abroad, regardless of the visa rule.
Does this rule cover work or study?
The data reflects the general tourist entry rule. Work, study or long stays usually require a separate visa, so check the official government site.
