Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire period you plan to stay in Palestine. Border officers at the Allenby Bridge crossing or Ben Gurion Airport check this closely. | 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 a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter from your host. Border officials sometimes ask where you're staying, especially if you're entering via the West Bank. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can cover your stay | Have bank statements or cash ready to show you have enough money for your trip. Immigration at the border may ask, though it's not always enforced. | Recommended |
Border crossing can be unpredictable
The Allenby Bridge crossing can have long queues and occasional closures. Arrive early in the morning, bring snacks and water, and have your documents ready. Check the crossing status before you go.
Travel insurance is a smart buy
Medical care in Palestine can be expensive, especially for emergencies or evacuation. A basic travel insurance policy costs around $30–50 and covers hospital stays, ambulance, and repatriation.
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 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 (screenshot or printed), and accommodation booking. The officer may ask a few questions about your trip purpose and length of stay.
3
Receive entry stamp
If everything is in order, you'll receive an entry stamp. There is no visa fee. Keep the stamp visible in your passport — you'll need it when you leave.
