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 officials at the Allenby Bridge crossing and Ben Gurion Airport check this strictly. Carry a photocopy of your passport bio page separately. | 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 return flight or bus ticket out of the region ready. Airlines may also check this before boarding. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have your hotel confirmation or host's contact details ready. Border officials sometimes ask where you're staying, especially if you're entering via the Allenby Bridge. A printed booking confirmation works best. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry enough cash or a credit card to cover your stay. Immigration may ask how you'll fund your trip. A bank statement or credit card limit of around $500–$1,000 is usually sufficient for short visits. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strict
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter Palestine. If it expires sooner, you will be denied entry. Check your passport well before travel.
Border crossing tips
The Allenby Bridge crossing from Jordan can have long queues, especially in the morning. Arrive early (before 8 AM) to avoid delays. Bring small bills in Jordanian dinars or Israeli shekels for fees and taxis.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the border crossing
Most travelers enter Palestine via the Allenby Bridge (King Hussein Bridge) from Jordan, or through Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. At the crossing, join the queue for foreign passport holders.
2
Present your documents
Hand over your passport, return ticket (screenshot is fine), and accommodation confirmation. The officer may ask a few questions about your stay — answer clearly and briefly.
3
Receive entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport and may issue a small entry card. Keep this card with your passport — you'll need it when leaving.
4
Proceed to baggage and exit
After immigration, collect any checked luggage and walk through customs. If you have nothing to declare, use the green channel.
