Brazilian passport holders can enter Palestine without a visa for tourism or short visits. As of 2026, you can stay up to 90 days without prior paperwork. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months from your arrival date.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire period you plan to stay in Palestine. Border officers at the Allenby Bridge or Rafah crossing check this carefully. Airlines flying into Tel Aviv may also enforce a 6-month validity rule — check with your carrier before departure. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Palestine/Israel | Immigration at the Allenby Bridge crossing and Ben Gurion Airport routinely asks for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or bus ticket out of the region. Without one, you may be questioned extensively or denied entry. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Border officials sometimes ask where you're staying, especially if you're entering via the West Bank. Have a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host ready. This is not always checked, but it smooths the process if asked. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Officers may ask to see bank statements or cash to confirm you have enough for your stay. Carry at least $500 USD or equivalent in shekels as a safe buffer. Credit cards are widely accepted in Ramallah and Bethlehem, but cash is king at smaller shops and checkpoints. | Recommended |
Entry via Israel
Most travellers enter Palestine through Israel (Ben Gurion Airport or Allenby Bridge). Israeli immigration may ask additional questions. Keep your documents ready and be polite.
Passport validity is critical
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date. If it's close to expiring, renew it before you go — you will be turned away otherwise.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the border crossing
Most visitors enter Palestine via the Allenby Bridge (King Hussein Bridge) from Jordan, or through Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. At the crossing, join the queue for foreign passports.
2
Present your passport and documents
Hand over your passport, and if asked, show your return ticket and accommodation booking. The officer will check your passport validity and stamp you in.
3
Receive entry stamp and proceed
You'll get an entry stamp valid for up to 90 days. Keep the stamp visible — you'll need it when leaving. Then collect your bags and exit.
