Japanese passport holders 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. Israel does not stamp passports; instead, you receive a small blue entry card (Form B/2) at immigration. Keep this card with your passport at all times, as hotels and checkpoints may ask for it.
Security screening at Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) is thorough. Expect questions about your travel purpose, contacts in Israel, and previous visits to the region. Answering calmly and directly speeds the process. If your passport contains stamps from certain countries (Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq), expect extended questioning but entry is not automatically denied. For stays beyond 90 days, apply for an extension at a Population and Immigration Authority office before expiry.
