Visiting Israel: Cuban citizen → Israel
You need a B/2 visa — apply through an Israeli mission
Cuba passport holders must obtain a B/2 visitor visa before travelling to Israel, per the official Israeli B/2 visa table: schedule an appointment and appear in person at the Israeli mission serving your country of residence, with the visa application form and supporting documents.
The bottom line
- The B/2 visa covers tourism, visiting, medical tourism, business and short-term non-academic study; it usually grants single entry and is valid for three months from the day it is granted. The actual period of stay — up to 90 days — is determined by Border Control on arrival.
- The official mission checklist includes a travel document valid at least 3 months beyond the visa period, a 3-month bank statement, confirmation of employment, proof of where you will stay in Israel, a two-way ticket, insurance for the whole stay and two 5x5 cm passport photos.
- Appearance in person at the mission is subject to the discretion of the consular representative, and the consular fee follows the official fee schedule for your nationality.
- Neither an ETA-IL nor a visa guarantees entry: they only allow you to reach the border crossing, where a border control officer makes the final decision on your entry and the length of your stay.
