Entry requirements

RequirementDetailsStatus
Valid passport
Must be valid for the duration of your stay
Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to be in Palestine. Border officers at the Allenby Bridge crossing (from Jordan) and Ben Gurion Airport (if entering via Israel) check this. Airlines may enforce a 6-month validity rule — check with your carrier before departure.Required
Return or onward ticket
Proof of departure from Palestine/Israel
Immigration officers at the Allenby Bridge crossing and Ben Gurion Airport routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking out of the region ready. This is checked more strictly if you arrive overland from Jordan.Recommended
Proof of accommodation
Hotel booking or host invitation
Have your first night's hotel confirmation or a letter from your host ready. Border officers at the Allenby Bridge crossing sometimes ask where you're staying, especially if you're arriving without a pre-booked tour. A simple booking.com confirmation works.Recommended
Proof of funds
Show you can support yourself
Carry enough cash or have a bank statement showing access to funds. Immigration at the Allenby Bridge rarely asks, but if you're entering via Israel (Ben Gurion Airport), officers may ask how you'll fund your trip. $500–$1,000 USD equivalent in cash or card is a safe range.Recommended
Border crossing can be slow
The Allenby Bridge crossing from Jordan can take 2–4 hours due to security checks. Arrive early in the morning and bring snacks and water. Avoid Fridays and Saturdays when it's busiest.
Entry via Israel
If you fly into Ben Gurion Airport, you'll go through Israeli immigration. They may ask about your travel plans. Be honest about visiting Palestine. You'll then cross into the West Bank at a checkpoint — no additional visa needed.

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 Israel then drive to the West Bank. At the crossing, join the queue for foreign passport holders.
2
Present your documents
Hand over your passport, return ticket (if asked), and accommodation confirmation. The officer will check your passport validity and stamp you in. No visa fee is charged.
3
Receive entry stamp
You'll get an entry stamp valid for up to 90 days. Keep the stamp visible in your passport. If you're staying longer, you'll need to apply for an extension at the Civil Administration office in your area.
