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 the Allenby Bridge crossing and Ben Gurion Airport check this closely. Airlines may refuse boarding if your passport has less than 6 months validity, even though Palestine does not require it. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Palestine/Israel | Immigration officers at the Allenby Bridge and Ben Gurion Airport routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or bus ticket out of the region ready. This is checked more strictly if you arrive via Israel's Ben Gurion Airport. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Palestine. Border officers at the Allenby Bridge crossing may ask where you are staying, especially if you are traveling alone. A booking confirmation with the property's phone number works best. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Carry at least $500 USD in cash or have a credit card with a visible balance. Immigration officers at the Allenby Bridge crossing occasionally ask to see proof of funds, especially for longer stays. ATMs are available in Ramallah and Bethlehem but not at the border crossing. | Recommended |
Border crossing hours
The Allenby Bridge crossing operates Sunday–Thursday, 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and Friday 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. It's closed on Saturdays and Jewish holidays. Arrive early to avoid long queues.
Entry through Israel
If you fly into Ben Gurion Airport, you'll go through Israeli immigration first. Israeli entry is also visa-free for Uzbek passport holders for up to 90 days. The same passport validity rules apply.
What happens at the border
