  • Original and photocopy of passport which is valid for more than six months from application date.
  • Original and photocopy of visa application form
  • Bank statements for the last three months.
  • Confirmation for hotel reservation in Israel: In the case where you have no one to invite you, you will need a valid hotel booking as proof of accommodation arrangement. Your hotel booking should be valid and should be verifiable if the embassy calls the hotel. Many hotels will cancel your booking once payment is not received within 24 hours after booking, this could lead to visa refusal. Also, we would not encourage spending lots of money to book hotel when you have not received your visa. We have a solution for the hotel booking which you should see in order not to fall victim.
