Visa Services

 

Due to heavy seasonal demand, we will require more time to process each request. Please note the following estimated processing times:
PASSPORT: 2 MONTHS -- VISA: 3 WEEKS -- NOTARIZATION: 1 WEEK

For urgent matters, please call (415) 844-7510 and leave a detailed message, including your full name, Israeli ID number, phone number, and the details of your request, including departure date (if applicable).


Israel has agreements for the abolition of visa requirements with 65 countries. Nationals of countries without such agreements who wish to visit Israel must submit to the nearest Israeli Consulate a completed visa application form as well as photograph and their travel document.

All tourists, regardless of visa, must enter Israel with a passport that will be valid for at least 6 months from day of entry to Israel.

Be advised, the Consulate General of Israel does not issue entry permits to the U.S. Any issue regarding a U.S entry permit whether lost or expired, should be referred to the Immigration and Naturalization Service directly or with the assistance of an attorney.

An Israeli citizen who is interested in entering one of the countries of the world, but does not know whether a visa is required, must contact the Consulate or Embassy of that country directly.
