Does Kish Island allow Israelis?

1/11/2016 10:22:12 AM

According to Wikipedia:

Admission is refused to holders of passports or travel documents
containing a visa/stamp for Israel or any data that passenger has been
to Israel or indication of any connection with the State of Israel.

It also says:

All tourists may stay in Kish Island for 14 days or less without
obtaining any visa. (Source)

But that is for tourists and people already in the country (Iran) who have obtained the visa. But since Kish is already in Iran, an Israeli passport holder cannot visit the place.

As an Israeli passport holder, it seems you cannot visit Kish.

The first being practical, flying into Kish you will either layover in Iran somewhere (which entry you will be refused) or through the UAE (which entry you will also be refused).

The second being that while Kish itself has a visa free policy, it’s still part of Iran proper which has a entry ban on any passport bearing an Israeli stamp or connection with Israel.
