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. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by Palestinian authorities, but airlines may enforce 6 months validity for boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Palestine | Immigration officers at the Allenby Bridge crossing and Ben Gurion Airport (for entry via Israel) routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight or bus ticket out of the region ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Border officials may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive via Israel. Have a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host in the West Bank ready to show. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Carry enough cash or a credit card to cover your expenses. There is no fixed minimum amount, but having around $500 USD equivalent is a safe buffer if questioned. | Recommended |
