Other than the above ETA-IL visa which can be obtained on line, U.S. and Canadian citizens do not need a visa to visit Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Greece, Rome and Turkey just a valid passport (valid for at least 6 months). Visitors are allowed to stay in the country for three months from date of arrival. However, visitors from most European countries, Mexico, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and many others countries do require visas. To check the requirements for other nationalities contact the Consulates in your area for the countries you will be visiting on your tour.  Visa polices are subject to change without notice – it is your responsibility the current regulations before traveling.
