Visa InfoThe site http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/Sherut/IsraeliAbroad/Continents/ contains information on how to obtain a visa for those traveling to Israel. The site also includes contact information for the Israeli embassies and consulates worldwide. Because regulations for visa authorization tend to change periodically, we recommend that you verify the information on the web site with the relevant embassy or consulate.
