Caution

Israel: complex re-entry rules; Israeli stamp may affect onward travel to several countries

Several countries (notably Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Saudi Arabia in some cases) refuse entry to passports showing an Israeli stamp. Travelers commonly request a separate entry slip rather than a stamp. Israeli citizens cannot enter most of the listed countries. Recent regional tensions have changed some rules; check current FCDO/State Department advisories.

Most Hongkonger travellers don't need a visa when heading to Israel for tourism.

The route most travellers use is the Visa-free (90 days). Stays go up to 90 days per visit.

The paperwork is straightforward — approval is likely if your documents are in order.
