Do Indonesia passport holders need a visa to visit IL?

Indonesian ordinary passport holders must obtain a visa BEFORE traveling to Israel. There is no visa-free entry, no visa on arrival, and no eVisa channel for Indonesian nationals. Because Indonesia and Israel have no formal diplomatic relations, there is no Israeli embassy in Indonesia, so applications are made through an Israeli mission in a third country (commonly Singapore) or via a licensed Israeli travel agent under the special group-tourist-visa scheme. Approval also requires clearance from Israel's Ministry of Interior/Foreign Affairs, so apply well in advance. As of 2026, Israel does not grant Indonesian ordinary passport holders visa-free, visa-on-arrival, or eVisa access. A B/2 visitor (tourist) visa must be secured in advance through an Israeli diplomatic mission. The complication unique to this route is the absence of formal Indonesia-Israel diplomatic ties: there is no Israeli embassy or consulate in Indonesia, so individual travelers usually apply at the Israeli Embassy in a third country (Singapore being the most common), while many Indonesians travel under the licensed Israeli travel-agent group-tourist-visa arrangement (groups of roughly 5 to 50). All applications are subject to security vetting and Ministry of Interior/Foreign Affairs confirmation, which lengthens processing. The standard B/2 visit visa permits a stay of up to 90 days. Travelers should plan 4 to 8 weeks ahead and confirm current requirements directly with the chosen Israeli mission or a licensed agent before booking. Note this is also a politically sensitive route; many Indonesian passports historically bear no restriction on Israel, but travelers should carry full documentation.
