Indian citizens must have the following documents when applying for an Israel visa:

To substantiate this, they would ask for important documents such as bank statements (last 6 months), ITR (last 3 years), and last 4 months’ salary slips (if employed) or equivalent. [Stamped and signed hardcopy of bank statements are required to be submitted to the consulate.]

• No Objection Certificate: Stamped and signed hard copy of a no objection letter from your employer (if employed) or on your company letterhead (if self-employed).

Note: You will also be required to submit documents confirming special circumstances in your visa application. For example, if invited, you will be asked to provide an invitation letter and a marriage certificate if your spouse’s name is not updated on the passport.
