Apply early — no visa on arrival
There is no visa on arrival for Israeli citizens. You must have the e-visa approved before you fly. Last-minute applications can cause missed flights, so start the process at least a week in advance.
30-day stay is not extendable
The e-visa allows a maximum stay of 30 days and cannot be extended. Plan your trip accordingly — if you need more time, you'll have to leave and re-enter.
