Receiving ETA-IL authorization allows you to stay in Israel for up to 90 days per trip over a two-year period. If you plan to stay for more than 90 days or are going for a purpose other than tourism and business, you must apply for a visa at the Israeli embassy in your country.

You should receive a response within 24 to 72 hours, but the final deadline is up to five business days.

Your ETA-IL authorization is generally valid for multiple trips for a period of up to two years from the date your application is approved or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. This means that as long as you have received an ETA-IL authorization to travel, you will not need to reapply during the validity period. If your ETA-IL expires while you are in Israel, it will not affect your departure.
