Peruvian passport holders need an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) to enter Palestine for tourism or short stays. The application is quick and done online, with approval typically arriving within minutes to a few hours. You'll need to apply at least 72 hours before your trip, and the ETA is valid for two years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.
Entry requirements

Apply at the official Israeli Interior Ministry ETA portal (interior.gov.il/en/eta). Fee: 25 ILS (~$7 USD). Processing takes minutes to a few hours; apply at least 72 hours before departure. The e-Visa is valid for 2 years or until passport expiry, whichever comes first. | Required |
| Passport validityIf your passport expires sooner than 6 months after you arrive, you may be denied entry. At least 6 months beyond entry | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry into Palestine. Check your passport's expiry date now and renew if needed. | Required |

Apply early, even though it's fast
The ETA is usually approved in minutes, but the official guidance says to apply at least 72 hours before departure. Don't risk it — apply as soon as you book your flights.
Entry via Israel
Most travellers enter Palestine through Israel (Ben Gurion Airport or land crossings). The ETA you get is the Israeli ETA, which covers both. Be prepared for thorough security questioning at Israeli border control — it's routine.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the ETA online
Go to https://interior.gov.il/en/eta, fill out the application form with your passport details, and pay the 25 ILS fee. Approval is usually instant or within a few hours, but apply at least 72 hours before your departure to be safe.
2
Check your approval email
You'll receive an email with your ETA approval. Print a copy or save it on your phone — you'll need to show it at check-in and possibly at the border.
3
Arrive at the border crossing
Most travellers enter Palestine via Israel (Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, or land crossings like Allenby Bridge from Jordan). At the border, present your passport and ETA. The officer will check your details and stamp your passport.
4
Enter Palestine
Once through Israeli border control, you're free to travel to Palestinian areas like Ramallah, Bethlehem, or Jericho. Note that some checkpoints within the West Bank may require you to show your passport again.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, you need an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization). It's not a traditional visa, but it's required for entry. You apply online, it costs 25 ILS (~$7 USD), and it's usually approved within minutes to a few hours.
The ETA is valid for two years from the date of issue, or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. You can use it for multiple entries during that period.
No, the ETA is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you'll have to leave and re-enter, or contact the relevant authorities before your ETA expires.
You'll likely be denied entry at the border. There's no on-arrival ETA process for Peruvian citizens. Make sure you have your approved ETA before you travel.
The ETA you apply for is actually the Israeli ETA, which covers entry into Israel and the Palestinian territories. So no separate visa is needed for Israel for short stays. Just make sure your ETA is approved before you fly.
The ETA is tied to your passport number. If you get a new passport, you'll need to apply for a new ETA. The old one won't be valid with the new passport.
No, the ETA must be applied for online before you travel. There's no facility to do it at the airport or border crossing.
