Indonesian passport holders need a visa to enter Palestine. You must arrange this in advance through an embassy or consulate, as there is no visa-on-arrival or eVisa option for Indonesian citizens. Plan ahead to avoid travel disruptions.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa for PalestineYou must get this visa before you travel; there is no visa-on-arrival or eVisa option for your nationality. Required for Indonesian citizens | Indonesian passport holders must obtain a visa before traveling to Palestine. Apply at the Palestinian diplomatic mission or the nearest embassy/consulate that processes Palestinian visas. The eVisa is not available for Indonesian citizens. | Required |
| Passport validityCheck your passport's expiry date — if it's too close, renew it before applying for the visa. At least 6 months beyond your stay | Your Indonesian passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Palestine. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesStamps need a clean page; if you're running out, get a new passport. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least 1 blank page for entry and exit stamps. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketBorder officials often want to see that you have plans to leave. Proof of departure | You may be asked to show a return or onward flight ticket proving you will leave Palestine (and the region) within the allowed period. | Required |
| Proof of fundsNot always asked, but having proof avoids problems at entry. Sufficient for your stay | Be ready to show evidence of sufficient funds (cash, bank statements, or credit cards) to cover your expenses during your time in Palestine. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou don't need to fill out any arrival form. Not required | No arrival declaration is required for Indonesian citizens entering Palestine. | Not required |
| eVisa applicationDon't look for an online visa application — it won't work for you. Not available for Indonesian citizens | The eVisa program is not available for Indonesian passport holders. You must apply through an embassy or consulate. | Not required |
No eVisa or visa-on-arrival
Indonesian citizens cannot use an eVisa or get a visa on arrival for Palestine. You must apply through an embassy or consulate before you travel. Don't fall for online services claiming to offer eVisas — they are not legitimate for your nationality.
Entry via Israel
Most travelers enter Palestine through Israel (Ben Gurion Airport) or via the Allenby Bridge from Jordan. You'll need to clear Israeli border control, which may require a separate visa or entry permit. Check Israel's entry requirements for Indonesian citizens well in advance.
Visa not extendable
Your visa cannot be extended in Palestine. Make sure your planned stay fits within the visa's validity period. Overstaying can result in fines, detention, or being banned from future visits.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the Palestinian embassy or consulate
Find the nearest Palestinian diplomatic mission or the embassy that handles Palestinian visa services for Indonesian citizens. This could be in Jakarta or a neighboring country. Call or email them to confirm the visa application process, required documents, and fees.
2
Prepare your application documents
Gather all required documents: your passport (valid 6+ months), completed application form, photos, flight bookings, accommodation proof, bank statements, and any other documents the embassy requests. Make copies of everything.
3
Submit your application and pay the fee
Submit your application in person or by mail, depending on the embassy's rules. Pay the visa fee (amount varies by embassy). Keep the receipt as proof of payment.
4
Wait for processing
Processing times vary — it can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks. Ask the embassy for an estimated timeline. Do not book non-refundable flights until you have the visa.
5
Collect your visa and check details
Once approved, collect your passport with the visa sticker. Check that your name, passport number, and validity dates are correct. If anything is wrong, notify the embassy immediately.
6
Travel to Palestine
When you arrive at the border crossing (e.g., Allenby Bridge from Jordan, or Ben Gurion Airport in Israel if you're entering via Israel), present your passport and visa to the border officer. Be prepared to answer questions about your trip.
