Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit PS?
Palestine does not issue its own tourist visas. Entry to the West Bank for tourism is controlled by Israel, so a Brazilian ordinary passport holder must satisfy Israeli entry rules. Brazilians are visa-exempt for Israel (up to 90 days), but since 1 January 2025 they must obtain an ETA-IL (Electronic Travel Authorization) online before travel (25 NIS, valid up to 2 years). Palestine (the West Bank and Gaza) has no independent immigration control: under the visa policy of Palestine, the only entry conditions imposed are those of Israel. Tourists therefore arrive through Israeli-controlled ports of entry, most commonly Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, or the Allenby/King Hussein Bridge from Jordan for direct access to the West Bank. Brazilian ordinary passport holders are visa-exempt for Israel and may stay up to 90 days for tourism, but as of 1 January 2025 all travelers from visa-exempt countries (Brazil included) must obtain an ETA-IL electronic travel authorization before departure. The ETA-IL is applied for online via the official Israel Population and Immigration Authority site, costs 25 NIS, is normally decided within about 72 hours, and is valid for up to 2 years (or until the passport expires) for multiple visits of up to 90 days each. Because the governing pre-travel requirement is the Israeli ETA, the practical verdict for a Brazilian tourist visiting Palestine is "eta" rather than fully visa-free. Travelers entering via the Allenby Bridge may receive a stamp restricting movement to Palestinian Authority-controlled areas of the West Bank. Gaza is effectively inaccessible to ordinary tourists, requiring both an Israeli entry permit and a Hamas exit/entry permit, and crossings are frequently closed. Conditions are volatile; always check current security advisories and crossing status before traveling.
