Aevamo’s reading

Made under s.17(b) of the Entry into Israel Law 5712-1952 after consultation with the Knesset Interior Committee, this order is the instrument that creates the visa exemption: section 1 exempts citizens holding passports of First-Schedule states (and biometric passports of Second-Schedule states) from the transit/B-2 visa requirement for up to three months. The PIBA pages and reference data report the current implementation of this scheme and the ETA-IL requirement added in 2025, which the stale Feb-2025 consolidation cannot yet show.

The PIBA ETA-IL reference data lists Moldova with NEED_PERMIT=1 (ordinary passports need a permit) but NEED_PERMIT_BIOMETRIC=0, meaning a holder of a Moldovan biometric passport needs no permit; the same data's length-of-stay table gives up to 90 days and the dataReqTypeId identifies the ETA-IL system.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions

Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
