Counts are for a standard tourist passport, from our open visa-matrix dataset, which cross-checks Wikipedia against a second source and records every disagreement rather than picking one silently. This is a starting point, not legal advice — a rule can change between snapshots, so confirm the current requirement with the destination's official source before you book. Rows marked ⚑ disputed are corridors where our two sources disagree; treat those as "verify first". Day counts marked * were corrected after the snapshot: Thailand cut its visa exemption from 60 to 30 days on 15 Sep 2026 (tatnews.org, checked 2026-10-10).
Europe from late 2026: this passport is on the EU's ETIAS list. ETIAS is not in operation yet; once it starts (the EU says the last quarter of 2026) you will need the EUR 20 online authorisation before visiting the 30 ETIAS countries. See ourETIAS guide, and count Schengen days with the90/180 calculator.

People also ask
How many countries can Israeli citizens visit visa-free?
102 destinations, with no form and no fee — you arrive and are admitted at the border. Add the 28 that issue a visa on arrival and the 8 that need only an eTA registered online, and 138 of 198 destinations need no visa arranged before you fly. As of 20 July 2026.
How strong is the Israeli passport?
It ranks 49 of 199 passports by no-prior-visa access, reaching 138 of 198 destinations without arranging a visa first. That figure counts visa-free and freedom-of-movement entry plus eTA and visa on arrival. As of 20 July 2026.
Which countries require a visa for Israeli citizens?
32 destinations need a consular visa applied for before travel, and 28 more need an e-visa approved online first. Both groups are listed in full above. The dataset records the requirement itself, not the fee or the processing time — confirm those with the destination's own authority. As of 20 July 2026.
What is the difference between an eTA and an e-visa for Israeli citizens?
An eTA is a registration; an e-visa is an application. An Israeli passport needs an eTA for 8 destinations — minutes online, then you fly — and a full e-visa for 28, which must be approved before departure. Neither one is issued at the border, so both have to be done before you travel.
How current is this visa-free list for Israeli citizens?
It is a dated snapshot, checked 20 July 2026, built by cross-checking two sources and recording every disagreement rather than picking one silently. 20 of this passport's 198 corridors are marked disputed. Entry rules change between snapshots, so confirm with the destination's official source before booking.
