I have a Vietnamese passport with Schengen visa and am currently staying in France.
Can I visit Israel with this passport or do I need to apply for an Israel visa from the Israel Embassy?

3Any reason why you think a Schengen visa might allow to enter a country which is outside the Schengen agreement and not even in the same continent ?– DumbCoderCommented Jan 27, 2017 at 8:52

1At first, I think there would be some accords between Israel and Schengen , so that is what I am trying to ask– Raphaël VOCommented Jan 27, 2017 at 9:06
