Brazilian passport holders can travel to Palestine with an eVisa, which is quick and easy to obtain online. You'll need to apply before you travel, and the process takes just minutes to a few hours. This guide walks you through the requirements and steps.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Entry visa (e-Visa)You must have an approved e-Visa before you board your flight to Palestine. Apply online before travel | Brazilian passport holders must obtain an e-Visa before arrival. Apply at the official Israeli interior ministry e-Visa portal (https://interior.gov.il/en/eta) at least 72 hours before travel. Fee: 25 ILS (~$7 USD). Processing takes minutes to a few hours. The e-Visa is valid for 2 years or until passport expiry, whichever comes first. | Required |
| Passport validityCheck your passport expiry date — it must not expire within 6 months of your arrival. At least 6 months beyond entry | Your Brazilian passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of entry into Palestine. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesMake sure you have a clean, unmarked page for the border officer to stamp. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least 1 blank page for entry/exit stamps. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketHave your flight itinerary handy — border officials often ask to see it. Proof of departure | You may be asked to show a return or onward ticket proving you will leave Palestine/Israel before your e-Visa or passport validity expires. | Required |
| Proof of fundsIt's wise to have a bank statement or credit card to show you can support yourself. Sufficient for stay | Carry evidence of sufficient funds (cash, cards, or bank statements) to cover your stay in Palestine. Amounts are not fixed but should match your planned duration. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou don't need to fill out any extra forms on arrival beyond the standard immigration procedures. Not required | No separate arrival declaration is required for Brazilian citizens entering Palestine. | Not required |
Entry via Israel
Palestine doesn't have its own international airport or independent border control. You'll enter through Israeli-controlled crossings (like Ben Gurion Airport or land borders). The eVisa you apply for is the same one used for Israel, so it covers both.
eVisa is not extendable
Once you're in, you can't extend your stay. Plan your trip within the allowed period. The eVisa itself is valid for 2 years or until your passport expires, but each entry is subject to border officer discretion.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to https://interior.gov.il/en/eta and fill out the application form. You'll need your passport details, travel dates, and a way to pay the 25 ILS fee. The process takes about 10 minutes.
2
Receive your eVisa approval
Approval is usually granted within minutes to a few hours. You'll get an email confirmation. Print a copy or save it on your phone to show at the border.
3
Travel to Palestine
Most travellers fly into Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) in Tel Aviv, then take a shared taxi or bus to Ramallah or other Palestinian cities. You'll go through Israeli border control at the airport, so have your passport and eVisa ready.
4
Enter Palestine
There are no separate immigration checks for Palestine itself — you enter through Israeli-controlled crossings. Just present your passport and eVisa when asked. Keep your documents handy for the return trip too.
