Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for the entire period you plan to stay in Palestine. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by Palestinian authorities, but airlines may enforce a 6-month rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Palestine | Immigration officers at the Allenby Bridge or Rafah crossing may ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or bus ticket out of the West Bank ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Border officials sometimes ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive via Israel-controlled checkpoints. Have a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their contact details. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry enough cash or a credit card to cover your stay — around $50–100 per day is a safe benchmark. Officers rarely check, but being able to show funds avoids delays. | Recommended |
