Can I extend my Israeli tourist visa more than once?
Yes, technically, but there are practical limits. Each extension is granted at PIBA's discretion, typically for 30 days at a time. In practice, most tourists can accumulate extensions up to around six months total before PIBA starts requiring a much stronger justification for any further stay. After that threshold, officers will scrutinize your application closely, and repeated extensions without a clear short-term purpose will likely be refused.
