United States visa requirements for Israeli citizens

Israeli citizens don’t need a visa to visit the United States for short stays (tourism, business, visiting family, or short study). However, they must have a US ESTA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) before traveling.

United States ESTA: A mandatory travel authorisation for visa-exempt travelers. It allows multiple entries over 2 years (or until the passport expires), with stays of up to 90 days per visit.

Who it's for
The ESTA is for visa-exempt travelers from Visa Waiver Program countries — such as the United Kingdom, Australia, Israel, Qatar, and many EU nations — visiting the United States for short stays.
Permitted activities
Tourism, visiting family and friends, business, transit, or medical treatment.
Duration and entries
The ESTA is multiple-entry and generally valid for two years, or until your passport expires, allowing stays of up to 90 days per visit.
Fees
The ESTA carries a U.S. government authorization fee plus iVisa's service fee, which covers the guided form, the document check, the filing and 24/7 support. The combined U.S. visa application fee is shown in full before you pay, and there is no embassy fee because there is no interview.

  • I needed to obtain a visa approval quickly. Had no idea I needed one to travel to the USA, a little research later prompted me to choose this route, needed no hiccups and to resolve quickly

  • Only 3 stars as I didn’t know I’d have to upload photos and I was using the PC and I struggled with this. Notification about this before starting the application I could have used my phone or iPad. Response from Help Team was very effective as it was from human beings and not a ‘bot’. ESTA was received in about 3 hours and not 24 as expected.
