Israel to Chad visa requirements

Israeli ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter Chad, and as of 11 May 2026 it must be obtained online as an eVisa through the official evisa.td portal before travel. Chad does not grant visa-free entry or visa-on-arrival to Israeli passport holders. Israel is not on Chad's visa-exempt list (which is composed mainly of West/Central African states and a handful of others). To visit Chad for tourism or a short stay, an Israeli ordinary passport holder must obtain a visa in advance. Since 11 May 2026, Chad has made its electronic visa system mandatory: nearly all visa categories (everything except diplomatic and courtesy visas) must be applied for exclusively online via the official government portal at evisa.td, and after the transition period any visa issued outside that platform is invalid for entry. Diplomatic relations between Chad and Israel were restored in January 2019, so Israeli nationals can apply normally; note that Chad closed its embassy in Tel Aviv in September 2025, making the online eVisa the practical route. The eVisa is typically a single-entry, 30-day short-stay tourist visa costing roughly USD 100-107, processed within about 7-10 business days. All arriving travelers, regardless of nationality, must complete mandatory police registration within 72 hours of arrival. Travelers should apply at least 7 days before departure, ensure a passport valid 6+ months with blank pages, and carry proof of yellow fever vaccination, which is required for entry to Chad.
