Travel Essentials
KRK: CEST · TLV: IDT
When it's 6:00 PM in Balice, it's 7:00 PM in Tel Aviv.
Polish passport holders can enter Israel visa-free for up to 90 days. No fee, no advance application. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry. At Ben Gurion Airport (TLV), you receive a small blue entry card (no stamp in your passport). Keep this card until departure, as it serves as your entry record. Security screening at TLV can take 20 to 60 minutes before check-in on departure, so arrive 3 hours early for international flights.
The 90-day stay cannot be extended for tourism. Working requires a B/1 work visa arranged by your Israeli employer before travel. Israel does not allow entry to travelers whose passports show stamps from certain countries. An Israeli entry card (rather than a stamp) avoids this issue. If you plan onward travel to countries that do not recognize Israel, confirm their entry rules before your trip.
Direct flights from Warsaw to Tel Aviv run about 4 hours on LOT and El Al. Wizz Air also operates the route. Israel uses the Israeli new shekel (ILS), trading at roughly 1.05 ILS per PLN 1 or 3.6 ILS per USD 1. Card payments are standard everywhere. No mandatory vaccinations. The Rav-Kav card works on buses and the Jerusalem light rail (ILS 5.50 per ride). Tel Aviv to Jerusalem by bus takes about 1 hour on Egged line 405 (ILS 16). Shabbat runs from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset, when most public transport stops (except in Haifa and some shared taxis in Tel Aviv).
