Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Indonesian passport must be valid for the entire period you plan to stay in Palestine. Immigration at the Allenby Bridge or Rafah crossing will check the expiry date against your intended departure. Airlines flying into Tel Aviv (Ben Gurion) may also enforce this before boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Palestine/Israel | Border officials at the West Bank crossings and Ben Gurion Airport routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking out of Israel or Jordan ready. Without one, you risk being denied entry at the crossing. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Immigration officers may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive via the Allenby Bridge from Jordan. Have a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their contact details. A simple booking.com reservation works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry enough cash or a credit card to cover your stay — around $50–100 USD per day is a safe benchmark. Border officials rarely ask for proof, but having a bank statement or cash on hand avoids problems if they do. | Recommended |
Entry via Jordan
If you enter through the Allenby Bridge from Jordan, expect a longer process — allow 2–3 hours for border formalities. Bring small change in Jordanian dinars or US dollars for fees.
Passport validity is critical
The 6-month passport validity rule is strictly enforced. If your passport expires sooner, you will be denied entry. Check your passport now.
What happens at the border

Arrive at the border crossing
Most Indonesian travelers enter Palestine via the Allenby Bridge (King Hussein Bridge) from Jordan, or through Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. At the border, join the queue for foreign passport holders.
2
Present your documents
Hand over your passport, return ticket, and accommodation booking. The officer may ask a few questions about your trip — keep answers simple and honest.
3
Receive your entry stamp
If everything is in order, you'll get an entry stamp. No visa fee is charged. The whole process usually takes 15–30 minutes.
