ETA is issued by Israel
Palestine doesn't have its own border control — you'll enter through Israel. The ETA you apply for is the Israeli ETA, which is accepted for entry into Palestinian territories.
Apply early, even though it's fast
Processing is usually minutes, but the official advice is to apply 72 hours ahead. If there's a glitch or extra review, you don't want to miss your flight.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for ETA online
Go to https://interior.gov.il/en/eta, fill in your passport details, pay the 25 ILS fee, and submit. Approval usually comes in minutes to a few hours, but apply at least 72 hours ahead to be safe.
2
Check your email for approval
You'll receive an email with your ETA approval. It's linked to your passport, so you don't need to print it, but having a copy on your phone is a good backup.
3
Arrive at Ben Gurion Airport (TLV)
Most travellers fly into Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport. After landing, follow signs to passport control. Have your passport and ETA approval ready. The officer will scan your passport and may ask about your stay.
4
Cross into Palestine
From Ben Gurion, take a shared taxi or bus to Jerusalem, then cross through checkpoints like Qalandia or Bethlehem's Rachel's Tomb checkpoint. Your ETA is for Israel/Palestine, so you don't need extra paperwork at the checkpoint — just your passport.

Frequently asked questions
No, you don't need a traditional visa. You need an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization), which is a quick online approval. It's valid for 2 years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.
The ETA costs 25 ILS (about $7 USD). Processing takes minutes to a few hours, but you should apply at least 72 hours before your flight to avoid any delays.
No, the ETA is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you'd have to leave and re-enter, but that's rarely necessary for typical visits.
If your ETA is denied, you won't be able to board your flight. You'd need to contact the Israeli authorities (since the ETA is issued by Israel) for clarification. In practice, denials are rare for Mongolian citizens.
No. The ETA covers both Israel and Palestine. You'll enter through Israel (usually Ben Gurion Airport) and then cross into Palestinian territories without additional paperwork.
No, you must apply online before you travel. There's no on-arrival ETA process. Apply at https://interior.gov.il/en/eta well in advance.
Your passport (valid 6+ months) and your approved ETA (digital or printed). Have your return ticket and accommodation details ready in case they ask.
