Visa policy of Israel

Okay kiddo, so you know when you want to go play at your friend's house, your mom or dad would usually ask your friend's parents if it's okay for you to come over? Well, it's kinda like that when people from other countries want to visit Israel.

Israel has rules that say which countries' citizens can come and visit, and for how long. These rules are called the visa policy of Israel. Think of it like a big list that says who can come and who can't.

When someone from another country wants to visit Israel, they have to apply for something called a visa. A visa is like a special permission slip that says you're allowed to go somewhere. Depending on where you come from and how long you want to stay in Israel, you might need a different kind of visa.

For example, if you just want to visit Israel for a short vacation, you might only need a tourist visa. But if you're going to Israel to work or study, you might need a different kind of visa that lets you stay longer.

So, the visa policy of Israel is like a set of rules that helps people from other countries know what kind of visa they need to visit Israel. It's there to help keep everyone safe and make sure that people are coming to Israel for the right reasons.
