I visited Israel for Easter and had a wonderful time! If my job allows it, I am thinking about visiting again around Christmas time. Would I be allowed entry in the country twice in the same year (of course get a new visa upon arrival) or do I risk being denied entry? I have read somewhere on the Internet that there are high chances of being denied entry on a second visit in the same year.
What would be the right authority to write to in order to receive a qualified answer to this question?
I know for some people this question might sound a bit "weird" but after having problems with my first entry I am kind of expecting the worst case scenario...

This has to be one of the most ridiculous bits of disinformation I've heard about entry to Israel. :)
How many times you visit is irrelevant - only who you are and what you intentions are in the country are important.
Enjoy your (second) trip! :)

Thanks for the reply! I'm glad to hear the number of entries in a year is irrelevant. It would be great to be able to spend my next vacation there too. So far it is my favourite vacation destination.

It's very likely that you'll be interrogated more in depth as to why you want to enter Israel, but there's no reason why they'd not let you enter the country.

Yes I'm already expecting a more in depth interrogation. I am looking forward to it NOT. Last time I was asked the same question about 5 times in an interval of 5 minutes.
