Register your trip on-line with the U.S. Embassy in this country. Millions of Americans travel abroad every year and encounter no difficulties. However, U.S. embassies and consulates assist nearly 200,000 Americans each year who are victims of crime, accident, or illness, or whose family and friends need to contact them in an emergency. When an emergency happens, or if natural disaster, terrorism, or civil unrest strikes during your foreign travel, the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate can be your source of assistance and information. By registering your trip, you help the embassy or consulate locate you when you might need them the most. Registration is voluntary and costs nothing, but it should be a big part of your travel planning and security.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do US citizens need a visa to visit Israel?
No. US citizens do not need a visa to visit Israel for tourism or business for stays of up to 90 days. American passport holders receive a tourist stamp on arrival at Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv. No advance visa application is required. However the US State Department has a Level 3 Reconsider Travel advisory for Israel and Level 4 Do Not Travel advisories for Gaza and the areas near the Lebanese and Syrian borders. AA Passport & Visa strongly recommends reviewing the current advisory at travel.state.gov before booking any Israel trip. Call 972-231-1600.
Will having an Israel stamp in my passport cause problems entering other countries?
This is a practical concern for DFW travelers planning trips to both Israel and Arab countries. Israel stopped stamping passports in 2013 and instead issues a separate entry card that does not go in your passport. This means your passport will not show evidence of an Israel visit. However some Arab countries may still question travelers about previous Israel visits regardless of passport stamps. If you plan to visit both Israel and countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, or the UAE on the same trip or near the same time consult AA Passport & Visa for guidance. Call 972-231-1600.
What documents do US citizens need to enter Israel?
You need a valid US passport with at least 6 months validity beyond your intended stay, a return or onward flight ticket out of Israel, proof of accommodation, and proof of sufficient funds. Israeli border security is thorough and questions about the purpose of your visit are standard. Having hotel bookings, a clear itinerary, and contact information in Israel ready helps smooth the entry process. If you have visited certain countries recently including Lebanon, Syria, or Iraq you may face additional screening. AA Passport & Visa ensures your passport is current. Call 972-231-1600.
Are there direct flights from Dallas to Israel?
Yes. El Al Israel Airlines and American Airlines operate service between Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv. Some routes connect through New York or other hubs depending on the carrier and schedule. Flight time from DFW to Tel Aviv is approximately 13 to 14 hours on more direct routing.
