Israel to eSwatini visa requirements

Israeli ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourist visits to eSwatini. You can enter visa-free and stay up to 30 days, with the immigration officer stamping your passport at the port of entry. Israel and eSwatini (formerly Swaziland) have had a mutual visa-waiver arrangement in place since 29 July 1970, and Israel remains on eSwatini's list of visa-exempt nationalities. Israeli ordinary passport holders traveling for tourism or a short visit are granted visa-free entry for up to 30 days, obtained as a free entry stamp on arrival at any port of entry (King Mswati III International Airport or land borders such as Ngwenya/Oshoek from South Africa). No advance application is required and no eVisa is needed - eSwatini launched an online eVisa portal in 2025, but it applies only to nationalities that require a visa, not to exempt travelers like Israelis. To enter, carry a passport valid at least three months beyond your travel dates, a return/onward ticket, proof of sufficient funds, and accommodation details. The initial 30-day stay can be extended once by a further 30 days at the Ministry of Home Affairs; stays beyond 60 days require a Temporary Residence Permit. eSwatini is in Southern Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so Schengen and ETIAS rules do not apply.
