Visa Free

Guide last updated October 18, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry
  • No visa application, online form or embassy appointment is required for entry
  • Proof of onward travel or accommodation may be requested at the crossing point
  • Sufficient funds for the stay, shown if requested
  • Travel insurance is not mandatory but strongly recommended given regional border conditions

Visa types

  • No visa category applies; entry is permitted visa-free for Egyptian passport holders under bilateral and Arab League travel arrangements
  • There is no separate tourist, business or student visa product for short visits; longer-term stays (study, work, residency) require separate permits arranged directly with the relevant Palestinian authority

Entry conditions

  • Egyptian citizens are admitted without a visa and normally receive a stay of up to 90 days
  • Entry and exit for Gaza is through the Rafah crossing and is subject to separate security coordination and periodic closures; always confirm the crossing's operating status before travel
  • Entry to the West Bank typically routes through Jordan via the Allenby/King Hussein Bridge, which involves checks by the controlling authorities at that crossing, separate from Palestine's own visa-free policy
  • Working during the visa-free stay is not permitted without a separate work permit
  • Extensions beyond the initial stay period can be requested at the Palestinian Ministry of Interior

Fees & processing time

  • No visa fee applies since entry is visa-free
  • No processing time, as there is no visa application to submit in advance
  • Any extension requested locally through the Ministry of Interior may carry a modest administrative fee and take a few business days to process

Tips for Egypt travelers

  • Check the current operating status and hours of the Rafah crossing before planning travel, as access can change with little notice
  • If travelling via Jordan to reach the West Bank, confirm requirements for that leg of the journey separately
  • Carry extra passport photos and spare cash, as facilities at border crossings can be limited
  • Register your travel plans with Egyptian consular authorities if travelling to Gaza given the security situation
  • Visa-free status covers tourism and family visits; working or studying requires a separate permit arranged in advance
