Start Date for ETA-IL System Pushed to January 2025
|
|
The Israeli Ministry of Interior announced today that the start date for the Marom ETA-IL (Electronic Travel Authorization - Israel) system has been postponed to January 2025. Previously, it was communicated that the system would be implemented starting August 1, 2024. No reason has been provided for this delay.

|
As a reminder, the Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system is designed to streamline the entry process for visa waiver nationals seeking short-term visits to Israel for purposes other than work, volunteering, or studying.

Enhanced Enforcement Measures for Employers of Foreign Employees |
|
Alongside the increase in allocations for foreign workers in various sectors (building renovations, industrial workers, restaurant workers, and more), the Israeli government has decided to intensify enforcement on employers of foreign workers in the near future.
|
|
|
|
To this end, 422 new positions were allocated for enforcement and the filing of indictments earlier this week. KTA's partners anticipate that the increase in enforcement will be felt in the coming weeks through surprise inspections at employer sites or requests for the submission of documents related to foreign workers.
