Entry requirements

| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Palestine | Immigration officers at the Allenby Bridge crossing and Ben Gurion Airport (for West Bank entry) routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight or bus booking out of the region ready. | Recommended |

Entry via Israel may raise questions
If you fly into Ben Gurion Airport, Israeli immigration officers may ask detailed questions about your itinerary. Keep answers simple and honest. Avoid mentioning any political activities or sensitive topics.
Border crossing hours vary
The Allenby Bridge crossing is open Sunday–Thursday, 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM (last entry around 7:00 PM). It's closed on Fridays, Saturdays, and Jewish holidays. Plan your arrival accordingly.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at border crossing
Most travelers enter Palestine via the Allenby Bridge (King Hussein Bridge) from Jordan, or through Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv (then drive to the West Bank). At the crossing, join the queue for foreign passport holders.
2
Present documents to immigration officer
Hand over your passport, return ticket (printed or on phone), and accommodation confirmation. The officer may ask about your purpose of visit and length of stay. Answer clearly and briefly.
3
Receive entry stamp
If approved, you'll receive an entry stamp (or a separate entry card). Check that the stamp shows the correct date. Keep the card with your passport at all times.
4
Exit procedure
When leaving, present your passport and entry card at the same border crossing. Make sure you exit before your 90-day stay expires. Overstaying can result in fines or future entry bans.
