Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of stay | Your passport must be valid for the entire period you plan to stay in Palestine. Border officials at Israeli-controlled entry points (Ben Gurion Airport, Allenby Bridge) may ask for at least 6 months validity — airlines sometimes enforce this too. Carry a photocopy of your passport bio page separately. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Palestine | Immigration at the Allenby Bridge crossing and Ben Gurion Airport routinely asks for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready showing your exit from Israel/Palestine within your visa-free period. Budget airlines check this strictly before boarding. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Border officers may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive at Ben Gurion Airport and say you're visiting the West Bank. Have a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their contact details. Booking.com printout works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Officials rarely ask for proof of funds for short visits, but carry a bank statement or credit card showing you have at least $500–$1,000 available. If you're staying with friends, a simple statement of support from them helps. | Recommended |
Border crossing can be slow
The Allenby Bridge crossing can take 2–4 hours due to security checks. Arrive early in the morning and bring water and snacks.
Gaza access is separate
This visa-free policy applies to the West Bank only. Entering Gaza requires special permits from both Israeli and Palestinian authorities, and is not covered by standard tourist entry.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the border crossing
Most visitors enter Palestine via the Allenby Bridge (King Hussein Bridge) from Jordan, or through Ben Gurion Airport in Israel. At the crossing, join the queue for foreign passport holders.
2
Present your documents
Hand over your passport, return ticket (screenshot or print), and accommodation confirmation. The officer will check your passport validity and blank pages.
3
Receive entry stamp
The officer stamps your passport. You're usually granted a visitor stay of up to 90 days. No visa fee is charged for Omani passport holders.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After stamping, collect any checked bags and proceed through customs. You're now free to travel within the West Bank (note: Gaza access is separate and restricted).
