Nepali passport holders can enter Palestine without a visa. As of 2026, you get a free entry stamp at the border crossing, valid for the duration of your stay. Just make sure your passport is 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. Immigration at the Allenby Bridge or Rafah crossing checks validity on entry. If you're transiting through Israel, Israeli border police may also check your passport — they don't enforce a 6-month rule, but your passport must not be expired. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Palestine or Israel | Immigration officers at the Allenby Bridge crossing and Ben Gurion Airport ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight or bus ticket out of the region. If you're leaving via Jordan, show your bus ticket to the King Hussein Bridge. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have your hotel reservation or host's contact details ready. Border officers in the West Bank sometimes ask where you're staying, especially if you're entering via the Allenby Bridge. A printed booking confirmation works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can cover your stay | Carry enough cash or a credit card to cover your expenses. Immigration rarely asks for proof, but if you're staying more than a few days, they may want to see you have at least $500–$1,000 available. ATMs are available in Ramallah and Bethlehem. | Recommended |
Border crossing delays
The Allenby Bridge crossing can have long queues, especially on Fridays and Sundays. Arrive early (before 8 AM) to avoid waiting 2–3 hours. Also, the crossing closes at 8 PM, so plan accordingly.
Entry via Israel
If you enter through Ben Gurion Airport, you'll go through Israeli immigration. They may ask about your plans in Palestine. Be honest and have your accommodation details ready. You won't get a separate Palestinian entry stamp — Israeli authorities handle it.
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 passports. Have your passport and return ticket ready.
2
Present documents and get stamped
Hand over your passport and any requested documents. The officer will stamp you in — no visa fee, no forms. The whole process usually takes 10–20 minutes if the queue is short.
3
Keep your documents handy
After entry, keep your passport and return ticket screenshot accessible. You may be asked to show them again at checkpoints within the West Bank.

Frequently asked questions
No, you don't need a visa. You get a free entry stamp at the border, valid for the duration of your stay. There's no application process or fee.
There's no fixed maximum stay for visa-free entry. The officer at the border will typically stamp you in for up to 30 days, but it's at their discretion. If you want to stay longer, you can apply for an extension at the Civil Administration office in Ramallah.
Yes, extensions are possible but not guaranteed. You'll need to visit the Civil Administration office in Ramallah (near the Ofer checkpoint). The process can take a few days, and you may need to show proof of funds and a return ticket. There's no set fee, but expect to pay around 50–100 ILS for the extension stamp.
Overstaying can result in a fine (around 500 ILS per month) and a ban from re-entering for a period. It's best to leave before your stamp expires or get an extension.
Yes, immigration may ask to see a return or onward ticket. Have a screenshot or printed copy ready. It doesn't have to be a flight — a bus ticket to Jordan works too.
Yes, many travellers fly into Tel Aviv and then cross into the West Bank via the Qalandia or Bethlehem checkpoints. You'll go through Israeli immigration at the airport, which may ask additional questions. Have your accommodation address and travel plans ready.
Not required for entry, but strongly recommended. Medical facilities in the West Bank are limited, and emergency evacuation to Israel can cost thousands. A basic travel insurance policy covers this.
