Step-by-Step Application Process

The De Facto Border Override

Palestine has no active civilian airports. Your approach must typically route through Israeli-controlled checkpoints, such as the Allenby Bridge or Ben Gurion Airport.

Israeli Entry Protocol Integration

Although Palestine is theoretically visa-free, you are forced to adhere to Israeli visa requirements to reach the access points. Ensure you hold a valid Israeli visa.

Executing the Crossing

Once Israel clears your entry, you simply travel overland into the Palestinian territories. Be prepared for robust interrogations regarding your operational intent.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.
