Entry requirements

Border crossing realities
Entering Palestine involves crossing Israeli-controlled checkpoints. Delays can happen, especially during holidays or political tensions. Arrive early in the day and be patient. Keep your documents handy at all times.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the border crossing
You'll enter Palestine through one of the Israeli-controlled checkpoints (e.g., the Allenby Bridge from Jordan, or the Qalandia checkpoint from Jerusalem). Have your passport and return ticket ready.
2
Present your documents to immigration
Hand over your passport and any requested documents. The officer will check your passport validity and may ask about your travel plans. Answer clearly and briefly.
3
Receive your entry permit
If everything is in order, you'll get a free entry permit stamped into your passport. This is usually valid for up to 90 days. No visa fee is charged.
4
Proceed through security screening
You may be asked to pass your bags through an X-ray machine and walk through a metal detector. This is routine. Keep your passport and permit accessible.
5
Exit the terminal and start your trip
Once through, you're free to enter Palestine. If you arranged an eSIM, it should activate automatically. Otherwise, buy a local SIM at a shop near the crossing.
