Philippines to Palestinian Territory visa requirements

Filipinos do not need a separate Palestinian visa, but entry to Palestine (the West Bank) is controlled entirely by Israel. Since the Philippines is visa-exempt for Israel, a Filipino tourist must obtain an Israeli ETA-IL (electronic travel authorization) before traveling. This has been mandatory since 1 January 2025. Palestine has no independent international border or visa-issuing authority — access to the West Bank is controlled by the Government of Israel, so a visitor's entry is governed by Israeli immigration rules. The Philippines has enjoyed visa-free tourist access to Israel since 1969, allowing stays of up to 90 days. However, effective 1 January 2025, all nationals of Israel's roughly 96 visa-exempt countries — including the Philippines — must obtain an ETA-IL (Electronic Travel Authorization) before boarding their flight or reaching a land crossing. The ETA-IL costs ILS 25, is valid for two years or until the passport expires, allows multiple entries of up to 90 days each, and is electronically linked to the passport (no stamp or printout required). On arrival, travelers are issued a paper entry slip rather than a passport stamp, which serves as permission to travel within both Israel and Palestinian Authority areas. Because there is no Palestine-specific visa channel and entry hinges on Israeli authorization, the most accurate verdict for a short tourist visit is an ETA (the ETA-IL). Note that entry via the Allenby/King Hussein Bridge from Jordan can result in an entry permit restricted to PA-controlled West Bank areas, and the security situation in the region changes frequently — always check current travel advisories before booking.
