Flag of PalestineVisa & Entry Requirements for Palestine

Most travellers can visit Palestine without going to an embassy: 3 passports enter visa-free, 2 apply online for an eVisa and 102 get a visa on arrival.

The UK government says the Israeli authorities control entry to Palestine, including by sea to Gaza, and that you must show a passport and Israeli immigration slip to cross between Israel and Palestine. Canada's travel advice says travellers must pass through Israeli ports of entry and comply with Israeli entry requirements. Israel's Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) says citizens of countries with a visa exemption agreement with Israel visiting the Judea and Samaria Area only may, as a rule, apply on arrival at the Allenby Bridge Crossing, and that foreigners visiting the Area and Israel in parallel are handled under the procedures of Israel's Population and Immigration Authority. The Authority says applications for B/2 tourist visas can be submitted at Israeli missions in the country of origin, and that under its eVisa-B2 pilot Indian and Sri Lankan passport holders residing in India and Sri Lanka can apply online. The UK says border crossings out of Gaza have been closed to civilians and general traffic since the Israeli military took control of the Rafah crossing on 6 May 2024.

Overstay penalties

The entry procedure for foreigners published by Israel's Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) for the Judea and Samaria area (the West Bank) says it is forbidden to remain there after the permit expires unless it has been extended. When an entry permit is requested, an authorised COGAT official may require a bank or cash guarantee to ensure the foreigner leaves when the permit ends. If the foreigner does not comply with the terms of the guarantee, a COGAT official considers whether the deposited sum may be confiscated.

For a visit to the Judea and Samaria Area only, Israel's Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) says citizens of countries with a visa exemption agreement with Israel are not, as a rule, required to apply in advance and may apply on arrival at the Allenby Bridge Crossing, for a B/2 permit for a short visit lasting no more than three months; citizens of countries that maintain diplomatic relations with Israel but have no visa exemption agreement with it may apply to the Israeli representative office in their own country, at least 45 days before the date of entry. COGAT says this procedure does not apply to foreigners visiting the Area and Israel in parallel, who are handled under the procedures of Israel's Population and Immigration Authority. That Authority says visitors from visa-exempt countries can apply for travel authorisation to travel to Israel through the ETA-IL system, that applications for B/2 tourist visas can be submitted at Israeli missions in the country of origin, and that under its eVisa-B2 pilot Indian and Sri Lankan passport holders residing in India and Sri Lanka can apply online.
