German passport holders can enter Israel visa-free for up to 90 days. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from entry. At Ben Gurion Airport you receive a small entry card (B/2 visa slip) instead of a passport stamp. Keep this card with your passport for the entire trip. You need it for hotel check-ins, car rentals, and departure.
Security screening at Ben Gurion is thorough and applies to everyone. Expect questions about the purpose of your visit, your itinerary, who you are meeting, and whether you have been to certain countries. Interviews can take 5 minutes or 45 minutes.
