Apply early, even though it's fast
While the eVisa is often approved in minutes, don't wait until the last minute. Apply at least 72 hours before your flight to avoid any unexpected delays or technical issues.
Entry is via Israel
Palestine is not a fully independent state for border control purposes. You'll enter through Israeli-controlled border crossings (Ben Gurion Airport or Allenby Bridge). The eVisa is issued by the Israeli government, so treat it as your entry permit for both Israel and Palestine.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to the official Israeli government eVisa portal (https://interior.gov.il/en/eta) and fill out the application. The form asks for your passport details, travel dates, and basic personal information. Pay the 25 ILS (~$7 USD) fee online.
2
Wait for approval
Most applications are processed within minutes to a few hours, but it's wise to apply at least 72 hours before your departure. You'll receive the eVisa by email. Print a copy or save it on your phone.
3
Arrive at the border
When you arrive in Palestine (typically via Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv or the Allenby Bridge crossing from Jordan), present your passport and the eVisa (printed or digital) to the immigration officer. They may ask about your itinerary, so have your accommodation details handy.
4
Enter and enjoy your stay
Once stamped, you're free to enter. The eVisa is valid for multiple entries during its 2-year validity, so you can come and go as long as it's still valid.
