Key Points
- Israel and the United States signed a reciprocity agreement, which aims to grant Israel acceptance into the US Visa Waiver Program
Overview
The governments of Israel and the United States (US) signed a reciprocity agreement, which aims to grant Israel acceptance into the US Visa Waiver Program (VWP). As part of the following steps, the reciprocity outline will be published on July 20, 2023. The reciprocity outline is one of the critical features of the VWP.
The reciprocity outline will allow any American citizen to enter Israel. Subsequently, when Israel is accepted into the program, it will enable Israeli citizens to enter the USA without a visa. This reciprocity outline will apply to all American citizens, including those with dual citizenship and those who are residents of Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip.
