Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire period you plan to stay in Palestine. Border officers at the Allenby Bridge crossing and Ben Gurion Airport check this closely. Airlines may also ask for 6 months validity beyond your departure date — carry a printed copy of your itinerary to show them. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Palestine/Israel | Immigration at the Allenby Bridge crossing and Ben Gurion Airport routinely asks for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed copy or a digital booking confirmation ready on your phone. Budget airlines flying out of Tel Aviv are especially strict about this. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or a letter from your host in Palestine. Border officers at the Allenby Bridge sometimes ask where you're staying, especially if you're travelling solo. A booking.com reservation printout works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash or bank statement | Have at least $500 USD in cash or a bank statement showing sufficient funds for your stay. Immigration at the Allenby Bridge rarely checks this for Moroccan passport holders, but it's better to have it ready. ATMs in Ramallah and Bethlehem dispense Israeli shekels. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strict
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter Palestine. If it expires sooner, you will be denied entry. Check your passport well before travel.
Border crossing tips
The Allenby Bridge crossing from Jordan can have long queues, especially in the morning. Arrive early (before 8 AM) to avoid delays. Bring small bills in Jordanian dinars or Israeli shekels for fees and taxis.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the border crossing
Most travelers enter Palestine via the Allenby Bridge (King Hussein Bridge) from Jordan, or through Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. At the crossing, join the queue for foreign passport holders.
2
Present your documents
Hand over your passport, return ticket (screenshot is fine), and accommodation confirmation. The officer may ask a few questions about your stay — answer clearly and briefly.
3
Receive entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport and may issue a small entry card. Keep this card with your passport — you'll need it when leaving.
4
Proceed to baggage and exit
After immigration, collect any checked luggage and walk through customs. If you have nothing to declare, use the green channel.
