The tourist visas will be issued through airlines and travel companies till an agreement for mutual exemption of entry visas between the two countries comes into force.
The new visa policy is within the framework of existing cooperation between the UAE and Israel after the two signed a US-mediated normalization deal in September. A similar move will be made for UAE citizens visiting Israel.
