***Update as of September 18, 2022:
Please note that some Israeli consulates are on strike and are not issuing entry visas to Israel. ECCV organizers are working to resolve this together with the ministry of foreign affairs.
First solution for people located in Germany, Turkey or Singapore: we will send you a personal official letter signed by the Deputy Director-General of the ministry of foreign affairs, that allows you to board a flight to Israel, and that entry permit will be provided, subject to a security check.
The special entry permit is provided by the Israeli authorities and will be sent by email to each approved applicant, based on the personal information provided by the applicant. ECCV and Ortra will do their outmost to assist each and every applicant, yet can not take any responsibility in cases that the authorities will decide to decline a specific application from whatever reason/s.
If you need a visa and have not contacted us yet, please email us ASAP at eccv@ortra.com
