Mongolian passport holders can enter Palestine without a visa for tourism or short visits. As of 2026, you can stay up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for the entire period you plan to stay in Palestine. Border officers at Israeli-controlled crossings (Ben Gurion, Allenby Bridge) may ask for at least 6 months validity — airlines sometimes enforce this too. If your passport expires within your stay, you risk being denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Palestine | Immigration at the Allenby Bridge crossing and Ben Gurion Airport routinely asks for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight or bus ticket out of the West Bank or Israel. Without one, you may be questioned extensively or denied entry. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a confirmed hotel booking or a letter of invitation from your host in the West Bank. Border officers at Israeli checkpoints sometimes ask where you're staying. A simple Booking.com confirmation on your phone works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry at least $500 USD in cash or have a bank statement showing available funds. Israeli border control may ask how you'll pay for your stay. Credit cards work in Ramallah and Bethlehem, but cash is king in smaller towns. | Recommended |
Passport validity is critical
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter Palestine. If it expires sooner, you will be turned away at the border. Check your passport now and renew if needed.
Keep your return ticket handy
Immigration officers often ask to see your return or onward ticket. Have a screenshot or printed copy ready — don't rely on finding it in your email at the counter.
No visa fee for short stays
Mongolian passport holders pay nothing for visa-free entry. You only pay if you apply for an extension (about 100 ILS) or if you need a visa for longer stays.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the Border Crossing
Most travellers 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 (printed or on your phone), and accommodation booking. The officer may ask about your purpose of visit and length of stay. Answer clearly and briefly.
3
Get Your Entry Stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with a visa-free entry permit. Check the stamp says '90 days' or the duration you were granted. Keep the stamp visible — you'll need it when leaving.
4
Exit the Terminal
After clearing immigration, collect your luggage (if any) and proceed through customs. There are no additional fees for visa-free entry.
