Visa for Israel from Madagascar: price, documents and processing time 2026

Yes. Nationals of Madagascar must obtain a visa before any tourist stay in Israel. The application is made through consular channels, at the Israeli mission competent for their place of residence or the application centre it designates, and requires attending in person. As the authorised length of stay is not given here, ask that mission.

Prepare a valid passport, the signed form, recent photos, a booking or proof of accommodation, proof of financial means and travel insurance. An invitation letter or a detailed itinerary can strengthen the file. The visa fee is not given here: the competent Israeli mission will state the amount and the payment method.

Identify the Israeli mission responsible for you: if there is none in your country of residence, it may be located in a neighbouring country. Book an appointment according to its instructions, complete the application form, online where offered, and attend with your complete file. Keep the submission references to track the progress of your application.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Madagascar, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Madagascar but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

No verified processing time is available, and waiting times can vary by mission or season. Start the procedure as early as possible, do not book a non-refundable ticket before the decision and keep a copy of every document. If the mission is located abroad, also allow for the time and cost of the journey.

Submitting an incomplete file, or untranslated documents where the mission requires a translation, is a classic cause of delay. Offers from intermediaries promising a fast or guaranteed visa should be ignored: the decision rests solely with the Israeli authorities. Finally, do not plan a stay longer than the one granted on the visa.
