United Arab Emirates to Palestinian Territory visa requirements

Do not treat this as a simple no-visa Palestine trip. UAE MoFA currently warns UAE nationals against travelling to the State of Palestine and lists normal UAE passports as Visa Required. For the practical route into the West Bank through Israeli-controlled entry points, UAE nationals who are visa-exempt for Israel generally need Israel's ETA-IL before travel, but that does not override Palestine-specific warnings or Israeli/Palestinian entry restrictions. This route has two overlapping official frames. UAE MoFA's State of Palestine page, last modified on 04 November 2025, warns UAE nationals against travelling to the State of Palestine at present and lists diplomatic, special, official, and normal UAE passports as Visa Required. At the same time, most practical foreign-tourist access to the West Bank and East Jerusalem is controlled by Israeli authorities through Ben Gurion Airport, Israeli land crossings, or the Allenby/King Hussein Bridge system. UK FCDO guidance says Israeli authorities control entry to Palestine, that travelers must show a passport and Israeli immigration slip when crossing between Israel and Palestine, and that as of 1 January 2025 an ETA is required before visiting Israel; the ETA costs 25 new Israeli shekels, is valid for 2 years, and covers visits of 90 days. Therefore the previous wording was too absolute when it said there is no Palestine visa and that an Israeli ETA alone is the answer. The current verdict remains ETA because the practical short-visit authorization for UAE travelers using Israeli-controlled entry points is ETA-IL, but the copy must clearly state that UAE MoFA's Palestine page says Visa Required and warns against travel, and that West Bank access can be restricted by Israeli stamps, entry slips, 'Palestinian Authority only' conditions, COGAT authorization, checkpoints, and security decisions. Gaza is not an ordinary tourist destination and may be inaccessible.
